Sommario/riassunto

Growing Up Global examines global change through children's lives in two seemingly disparate places: New York City and Sudan.The book's core is a study of children in a Sudanese village that was included in a state-sponsored agricultural program. Shifting her focus to working-class families in New York City, Cindy Katz exposes connections with the Sudanese in the effects of a capitalist environment on children.
