Description:

Anthropologist Jeannette Marie Mageo develops a new theory of the self in culture through a psychological and historical ethnography of Samoa, which provides a unique opportunity to consider the dialectic between historical change and personal experience, and uncovers ways in which cultural history is forever leaving its fingerprints upon human lives.
