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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tAmerica According to Margaret Mead\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eHervé Varenne\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tPreface - 1965\u003cbr\u003e \tPreface from England - 1943\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction - 1965\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1. \u003c\/strong\u003eIntroduction - 1942\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2. \u003c\/strong\u003eClearing the Air\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3. \u003c\/strong\u003eWe Are All Third Generation\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Class Handicap\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe European in Our Midst\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e Parents, Children and Achievement\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7. \u003c\/strong\u003eBrothers and Sisters and Success\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8. \u003c\/strong\u003eAre Today’s Youth Different?\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Chip on the Shoulder\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10. \u003c\/strong\u003eFighting the War American Style\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 11. \u003c\/strong\u003eAre Democracy and Social Science Compatible Each with Each?\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 12. \u003c\/strong\u003eIf We Are to Go On\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 13. \u003c\/strong\u003eBuilding the World New\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 14. \u003c\/strong\u003eThese Things We Can Do\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 15. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Years Between: 1943–1965\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tBibliographical Note - 1942\u003cbr\u003e \tBibliograpghy - 1942\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tBibliographical Note - 1965\u003cbr\u003e \tBibliography - 1965\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138315518295,"sku":"9781571812186","price":21.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781571812186.jpg?v=1751918873","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/and-keep-your-powder-dry-an-anthropologist-looks-at-america-9781571812186","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
