Growing Up in New Guinea: A Comparative Study of Primitive Education (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
Following the sensational success of her first book, Coming of Age in Samoa, Margaret Mead continued her brilliant work in Growing Up in New Guinea, detailing her study of the Manus, a New Guinea people still untouched by the outside world when she visited them in 1928. She lived in their noisy fishing village at a pivotal time -- after warfare had vanished but before missions and global commerce had begun to change their lives. She developed fascinating insights into their family lives, exploring their attitudes toward sex, marriage, the rearing of children, and the supernatural, which led her to see intriguing parallels with modern Western society. Reissued for the centennial of her birth and featuring introductions by Howard Gardner and Mead's daughter, Mary Catherine Bateson, this book offers important anthropological insights into human societies and vividly captures a vanished way of life.
Biographie de l'auteur
Margaret Mead (1901-1978) began her remarkable career when she visited Samoa at the age of twenty-three, which led to her first book, Coming of Age in Samoa. She went on to become one of the most influential women of our time, publishing some forty works and serving as Curator of Ethnology at the American Museum of Natural History as well as president of major scientific associations. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom following her death in 1978.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a remarkable study of child development as seen through a unique window: the lives of children brought up in a traditional society on the remote islands and reefs of Manus in the Admiralty Archipelago. The author lived with the Manus for six months, observing the children in their environment â" a society untouched by missionaries or traders and with an economic dependence on the ocean. The result is a detailed record of the child-rearing practices, cultural influences, and philosophies of these people. The author's objective and in-depth analysis sheds light on the importance of cultural norms, parental attitudes, and social expectations in shaping a child's development. This book is a valuable resource for anthropologists, educators, and social workers. It offers fresh insights into the nature of childhood, the process of socialization, and the diversity of human experience. It also highlights the significance of cultural context in understanding child development and provides a unique perspective on the malleability of human nature.
