Last one for the night. Circled bit has been getting to me - they talk about black people code switching earlier, and here Mead brings up new guinea villagers code switching between their own tribe/other tribes/white people and mentions that >>more generally code switching is kinda just an integral part of effectively communicating in multicultural settings<< which im pondering as i try to summarize theory on a shitposting forum

Representation is important!!! You have no idea what life experiences the people you meet have and what lessons theyll learn from things they see you do

Heres a wild story about James Baldwin trying to cash a check in the south. Very interesting stuff about needing to give someone an 'out' to save face in the south, a concept that definitely does not exist in new york city

cathy bateson is easily the intellectual peer of her parents. at the end of the book she predicts that culture will become even more homogenized and that people in the future will be interested in bateson/meads work as a lens into other possible cultures. im from the future and that did happen and those were the most valuable parts of the book!!

I did it!! I finished With A Daughters Eye and learned the secret I had been wondering - that in fact Cathy Bateson was an uncredited full author of Mind and Nature as she was the one typing up and editing the secrets of the universe that Gregory was rambling away at her while his cancer was briefly in remission. Idk whether to go back thru it for quotations now or to start on A Rap on Race

a rare moment of defeat: margaret mead organizes a conference about rituals, and it falls flat because she mixed comparative religion scholars with catholic priests who believe their religion is 100% correct and everyone elses is 0% correct

margaret mead kept a little notebook on her to write down cool ideas people said, and simply by doing so she got people to tell her the most interesting things they could think of in order to get her to whip out that notebook

we can see echoes of this brilliant idea in what will later be known as "fishing for RTs"
