“A man will turn over half a library to make one book.” –Samuel Johnson

Synopsis

French historian Alexis de Tocqueville observed that the conflict between the ideals of individualism and community defines American culture. In this ground-breaking new work, Charles Nuckolls discovers that every culture consists of such paradoxes, making culture an insoluble problem. He does, however, find much creative tension in these unresolvable opposites.To demonstrate how social organization often reveals cultural values, Nuckolls first treats the Micronesian Ifaluks' opposition between cooperation and self-gratification by examining the nature venus nurture debate. He then shifts to the values of community and individual adventure by exploring the identity conflicts of public figures in Oklahoma. Lastly, he investigates the cultural significance of psychiatric diagnoses in the United Scares, asserting that psychiatry assigns dependence to women and independence to men and diagnoses the extreme forms of these values as disorders.
