Title: Somwhere between Freeman's vitriol and an ameteur' s efforts
Review: I was the Medical Director of American Samoa a few years after Mead's sixmonth in Ta'u, a village in the Manu'a group and spent over two years there. On my trips to Manu'a I found and talked to Chief Tufele and those Mead worked with. With two years study of Hawaiian I was able to converse with them quite easily. Mead studied Samoan for only six weeks in Pago Pago.There are many errors and self-projections in the work of a 23-year old girl fresh out of college on her first field trip, but not enough to incurFreeman's wrath. About half of his criticisms are not true.
Is the review positive or negative?
