It meticulously uncovers discrepancies and challenges the foundational claims of Mead's research, presenting a revisionist perspective on her ethnographic methods and conclusions. The book argues that Mead's portrayal of Samoan adolescence as a period of sexual freedom and ease was largely inaccurate, illustrating how her findings contributed to a significant anthropological myth. Freeman's rigorous analysis details the historical context and the lasting impact of Mead's work, ultimately questioning the reliability of early anthropological studies. This scholarly text offers a compelling reinterpretation of a classic ethnographic account, sparking considerable debate within the field.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48549001330907,"sku":"2026200002572-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/45dd3352-ff30-4bf6-b81e-915b74a7f88d.png?v=1775143396","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200002572-secondhand-margaret-mead-and-samoa-the-making-and-unmaking-of-an-anthropological-myth","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
