| Summary |
"A state-of-the-art review of research in this area, this comprehensive new collection investigates children's feelings and ideas about key social experiences and the institutions and cultural groupings that make up society. Areas covered include children's understanding of school, economics, the law and legal processes, gender roles, social class and occupational categories and racial, ethnic and national groups. Written by leading international authorities in each field, the chapters summarize clearly our current state of knowledge, as well as carefully explaining and evaluating the theories which have been proposed to account for children's development in all these areas."--Jacket |
