Molloy (women's studies, U. of Auckland, New Zealand) examines four of Margaret Mead's early popular ethnographies--Coming of Age in Samoa, Growing Up in New Guinea, The Changing Culture of an Indian Tribe, and Sex and the Temperament in Three Primitive Societies; the related articles that drew on this ethnographic material; and the anthropological, critical, and popular responses to her work. In the process, the author explores Mead's work in relation to debates that began in the early 20th century about the forging of a distinctive American culture, and to concepts of "America" as a materialistic, individualistic society. For students, scholars, academics, and researchers in American studies and history, cultural studies, the social sciences, American intellectual history, the history of anthropology, gender studies, and studies of modernism.
