Download or read book Coming of Age in Samoa written by Margaret Mead and published by Digireads.com. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1928, "Coming of Age in Samoa" is Margaret Mead's classic sociological examination of adolescence during the first part of the 20th century in American Samoa. Sent by the Social Science Research Council to study the youths of a so-called "primitive" culture, Margaret Mead would spend nine months attempting to ascertain if the problems of adolescences in western society were merely a function of youth or a result of cultural and social differences. "Coming of Age in Samoa" is her report of those findings, in which the author details various aspects of Samoan life including, education, social and household structure, and sexuality. The book drew great public interest when it was first published and also criticism from those who did not like the perceived message that the carefree sexuality of Samoan girls might be the reason for their lack of neuroses. "Coming of Age in Samoa" has also been criticized for the veracity of Mead's account, though current public opinion seems to fall on the side of her work being largely a factual one, if not one of great anthropological rigor. At the very least "Coming of Age in Samoa" remains an interesting historical account of tribal Samoan life during the first part of the 20th century. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Download or read book From Samoa with Love written by Peter Hempenstall and published by Hirmer Verlag GmbH. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Du site de l'éd.: The displays were presented in amusement parks, zoological gardens and even at Munich's Oktoberfest beer festival. The viewers could travel "around the world for fifty Pfennig" and experience "typical" Samoan culture in the form of dances, music and weapon performances. This shaped the ways in which people saw (and continue to see) foreign cultures. This beautifully illustrated volume also explores the echoes of the Völkerschauen to be found in works of art created during the German Empire, including by the Brücke (Bridge) artists based in Dresden and Erich Heckel's drypoint Samoanischer Tanz (Samoan Dance), 1910; and traces German and Samoan interests.
