Description

Margaret Mead collaborated with her long-time colleague Rhoda Métraux in this unique study of French culture.

The Hoover Institute at Stanford University originally published this volume, which grew out of the Columbia University project on Research of Contemporary Cultures in 1954.

It is one of the few works by American social scientists dealing with broad themes of French life. Mead and Métraux present a vivid picture of the French starting with the organization of the house and its architecture, and drawing original conclusions for the structure of French families and overall cultural values.

This work, long out of print, is a fascinating and penetrating portrait of a contemporary European society.
