About “Growing up in New Guinea”
Growing Up in New Guinea is a study by Margaret Mead based on her 1928 visit to the Manus people in New Guinea, where she lived in a fishing village during a transitional period after warfare had ended but before missions and global commerce had altered their way of life. The book details her observations of family life, attitudes toward sex, marriage, child-rearing, and the supernatural among the Manus, drawing comparisons to modern Western society.
