Title: An honest review of Mead's work
Review: This collection of articles by anthropologists is a scathing critique of Margaret Mead's life work. The articles present detailed evidence that Derek Freeman was correct, and Mead was one of science's greatest liars. Her books, followed by those of the hippy leaders at Columbia University (Kerouac, et al.), led to an enormous revolution in social and political thought (essentially the "New left" philosophy), including the foundations of the Women's Liberation movement. This all became a gigantic structure, but it was based on Mead's lies posing as social science. Caton's book should be required reading for many college courses and on the bookshelves of many types of thoughtful people.
