Based on over 100 years of findings from anthropological scholarship, this book paints a nuanced and credible picture of childhood in different cultures, past and present. Now in its third edition, it has been updated with a number of new topics, and includes over 350 new sources.
How are children raised in different cultures? What is the role of children in society? How are families and communities structured around them? Now in its third edition, this deeply engaging book delves into these questions by reviewing and cataloging the findings of over 100 years of anthropological scholarship dealing with childhood and adolescence. It is organized developmentally, moving from infancy through to adolescence and early adulthood, and enriched with anecdotes from ethnography and the daily media, to paint a nuanced and credible picture of childhood in different cultures, past and present. This new edition has been expanded and updated with over 350 new sources, and introduces a number of new topics, including how children learn from the environment, middle childhood, and how culture is 'transmitted' between generations. It remains the essential book to read to understand what it means to be a child in our complex, ever-changing world.

David F. Lancy is Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at Utah State University. Recent publications include Child Helpers (2020) and Raising Children (2017).
