Inhaltsangabe

 
       Growing Up in America offers substantial and dramatic evidence
        that the history of childhood has come of age. Its authors demonstrate
        the breadth and depth of interest, as well as high quality of work, in
        a field that is finally attracting the attention it deserves. Strongly
        influenced by new social history and its concern for the powerless and
        inarticulate, Growing Up in America provides illuminating insights
        on children from infancy to adolescence and from the colonial period to present.
      "The very title of this fine and enormously instructive anthology
        of essays makes its quiet but important point---that children grow up
        in a particular nation, rather than in a family or home isolated from
        the influence of social, cultural, political, and historical forces. .
        . . An admirably diverse and instructive collection."
        -- Georgia Historical Quarterly
