Описание
Итог:Like missionaries, anthropologists who take their children overseas face a number of challenges. Joan Cassell's Children in the Field (1987) presents essays by nearly a dozen such anthropologists. Schooling; health care; local babysitters with different childrearing customs; siblings who adapt differently; the birth of a child; the death of a child; children as bridges; children as impediments—all are explored, along with many useful logistical strategies. A particularly intriguing finding is that several children criticize their parents for too much cultural adaptation. Might missionary children raise the same cry? How could parents respond?
