Opis

Enriched with findings from anthropological scholarship, this book provides a guide to childhood in different cultures, past and present.

Recenzje

'In this deeply enriched and utterly compelling new edition, David Lancy continues to break ethnocentric and widespread assumptions about child socialization, learning, and parenting, making vital contributions to the anthropology of childhood and youth. While so recently published, this book has already become a classic in childhood studies and beyond.' Dr. Camilla Morelli, Lecturer in Social Anthropology, The University of Bristol
