A Way of Seeing New perspectives on a changing world: from youth and marriage to power and politics
(From her vantage point as America's foremost anthropologi...)
From her vantage point as America's foremost anthropologist, Margaret Mead has developed a special "way of seeing" that provides a sane perspective for our most perplexing contemporary dilemmas. Writing in conjunction with long-time friend and fellow anthropologist Dr. Rhoda Metraux, Dr Mead notes: "These essays are personal responses to events at different moments in time; as such they reflect changes through which all of us have been living. Some have to do with the way we face the world, some with aspects of our lives as Americans, and others with the changing personal relations of husbands and wives, parents and children, and the situation of women at home and abroad. As we arranged these essays we began to see more vividly the direction in which Americans have been moving. The problems have not changed except as they have become more acute." (front flyleaf)

Edit ProfileCareer
During World World War II, Doctor Metraux headed the section on German morale for the United States Office of Strategic Services (Office of Strategic Services). Together with Mead, she wrote several books and many articles on major issues from the 1950s to the late 1970s. As a contributing editor to Redbook magazine for well over a decade, both wrote many articles on contemporary issues that later formed the basis of a number of books including A Way of Seeing.
Margaret Mead and Rhoda Metraux were in fact a close-knit professional team whose work greatly influenced American anthropology in the late 20th century.
They shared a house in Greenwich Village in New York from 1955 to 1966 and an apartment on Central Park West from 1966 until Mead"s death in 1978.
