How would you compare the introduction of Margaret Mead’s Coming of Age in Samoa with Malinowski’s introduction to Argonauts? What ideas do Mead and Malinowski have in common? What rhetoric do they share? And how do they differ, either in substance or style? Then compare these two early ethnographers with how Keith Basso introduces the setting and themes to Wisdom Sits in Places. What has changed seven decades later? Are there any continuities between how Basso introduces his ethnography and the earlier anthropologists?
