Mead's work became an instant classic. It was required reading for anthropology students for nearly two decades, and was widely translated. It was revised and expanded in 1965 for a second generation of readers. Among the more controversial conclusions of her analysis are the denial of class as a motivating force in American culture, and her contention that culture is the primary determinant for individual character formation. Her process remains lucid, vivid, and arresting. As a classic study of a complex western society, it remains a monument to anthropological analysis. 410 0$aMargaret Mead--researching Western contemporary cultures ;$vVolume 2. 606 $aNational characteristics, American 615 0$aNational characteristics, American. 676 $a305.8/00973 700 $aMead$b Margaret$f1901-1978,$0118870 702 $aVarenne$b Herve? 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820326003321 996 $aAnd keep your powder dry$94059218 997 $aUNINA
