Reader Reviews:
Mead, though questionably, raises many cultural questions (7/9 people found this helpful)
Though Meads research was questionable in terms of its accuracy, the observations she makes of Samoan and American cultures caused the anthropolgical world of the time to rethink itself and reorganize its ways of doing things. This book will cause one to reflect upon a society's culture much more deeply and look for the things within that culture that make it truly wonderful.
