How are children raised in different cultures? How are families and communities structured around them? What is the role of children in society?
Enriched with anecdotes from ethnography and the daily media, the book examines family structure, reproduction, profiles of children's caretakers within family or community, their treatment at different ages, their play, work, schooling, and transition to adulthood.
