Description
The book "Myths" by Margaret Mead focuses on the life and scientific research of the famous American cultural anthropologist, a student of Franz Boas and a significant representative of the "culture and personality" movement. Mead became famous with her first field research conducted in the Pacific archipelago of Samoa, the results of which later became the subject of ongoing disputes among experts. The author shows that the ideas and professional opinions of this anthropologist are often evaluated based on the popular books she wrote, and her scientific monographs and studies are rarely taken into account. The book takes readers to the archipelago of Samoa, New Guinea, Bali, as well as to New York and among North American Indians. It offers a glimpse into the "anthropological kitchen" of the famous scientist, introducing her professional works and opinions in relation to her life story. It sheds new light on many myths that have emerged around Margaret Mead.
