About “Coming of Age in Samoa”
Coming of Age in Samoa is a 1928 book by American anthropologist Margaret Mead. Based on her research on the island of Taʻū in American Samoa, the book focuses on the sexual life of teenagers, particularly adolescent girls, in Samoan society during the early 20th century. Mead explores how cultural factors shape psychosexual development, arguing that culture plays a major role in influencing adolescent behavior and sexuality. The work was intended to provide insights into youth development within a non-Western context. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
