Sommario/riassunto |
|
Editors Stephen Beckerman and Paul Valentine argue that while Amazonian societies certainly have variations on marriage practices, in reality the rules surrounding them are inconsistently followed. Utilizing methods of cultural and social anthropology and pulling together data from several cultures, contributors demonstrate how individual motives and opportunities--including desire, economics, or residence--result in marriage choices that may negotiate, manipulate, or ignore societal rules. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"Children's work is neither simply a relic of bygone times nor a feature |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of so-called backward societies. It is, in fact, currently on the increase - in a number of different ways - in all parts of the world, including the affluent countries of Europe and North America, and is closely linked to the processes of globalization." "This book endeavours to understand working children, and their ways of living and acting, from their own perspective. Particular attention is paid to children's own experiences and hopes, especially their attempts to articulate themselves in public and to fight together against exploitation and discrimination."--Jacket. |
