The Cultural Nature of Human Development by Barbara Rogoff

The Cultural Nature of Human Development by Barbara Rogoff

The Cultural Nature of Human Development presents an account of human development that looks at both the differences and similarities among cultures. Beyond demonstrating that 'culture matters', Rogoff focuses on how culture matters in human development - what patterns help make sense of the cultural aspects of human development? Rogoff integrates research and theory from several disciplines, including cross-cultural psychology, sociocultural research, linguistic and psychological anthropology, and history. The volume examines multiple aspects of development, including childrearing, gender differences, interdependence and autonomy, developmental transitions, maternal attachment, parental discipline, and cognition and culture.

" Barbara Rogoff's new book is an excellent compilation of the last three or four decades of work by anthropologists and human developmentalists who study the cultural processes inherent in human development... highly recommended for scholars of human development and their advanced students." --Anthropology & Education Quarterly "Barbara Rogoff's new book is an excellent compilation of the last three or four decades of work by anthropologists and human developmentalists who study the cultural processes inherent in human development. ... highly recommended for scholars of human development and their advanced students." --Anthropology & Education Quarterly "This book functions at two levels, with both effectively coordinated with one another: a rare achievement. On the one hand, it takes up - and presents in a new light - topics of concern to anyone interested in developmental questions... On the other, it takes up - and again presents in a new light - topics that have more been the explicit concern of scholars interested in cultural perspectives." Human Development
