[Xmca-l] Re: cultural constructions of childhood?

[Greg Thompson]

and a few more on the anthropology front (in case you are still interested):

Bambi Chapin's *Childhood in a Sri Lankan Village* is very good. Gottlieb
and De Loache have a new *A World of Babies* edition out.

​And ​
Elise Berman
​ has a book coming out at the end of January that does some good
theorizing of "age", including "childhood". The title of her book is:
*Talking Like Children: Language and the Production of Age in the Marshall
Islands.* Oxford University Press
