Video Schedule

"In Coming of Age, Margaret Mead claimed Samoan adolescents were part of a gentle, harmonious culture, practicing casual premarital sex which produced no unwanted pregnancies or other negative results. In 1982, Australian anthropologist Derek Freeman declared the opposite was closer to the truth. In devaluing Mead's research, Freeman appeared to challenge the entrenched position of anthropology in the "nature versus nurture" dialogue. Explores the roles and academic standpoints of Mead and Freeman and incorporates interviews with Mead's friends, her fellow academics, her daughter and present-day Samoans including some from Mead's studies."
