Publisher Description:
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
