What do residents themselves have to say about their experiences? Are there ways that orphanages can be designed to meet children's developmental needs and to provide them with necessities they are unable to receive in their home communities? In this book, detailed observations of children's daily life in a Cambodian orphanage are combined with follow-up interviews of the same children after they have grown and left the orphanage. Their thoughtful reflections show that the quality of care children receive is more important for their well-being than the site in which they receive it. Life in a Cambodian Orphanage situates orphanages within the social and political history of Cambodia, and shows that orphanages need not always be considered bleak sites of deprivation and despair. It suggests best practices for caring for vulnerable children regardless of the setting in which they are living"--Provided by publisher.Rutgers Series in Childhood StudiesOrphansSocial conditionsfast(OCoLC)fst01048444Orphanagesfast(OCoLC)fst01048423SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / GeneralbisacshOrphansCambodiaSocial conditionsOrphanagesCambodiaCambodiafastorphan, orphanage, children, Cambodian orphanage, Cambodia, Orphanage Tourism, Anti-orphanage Tourism Campaign, residents, political history of Cambodia, despair, deprivation, adoption, family, orphanage life, residential institution, orphans, biological families.OrphansSocial conditions.Orphanages.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General.OrphansSocial conditions.Orphanages362.732Carpenter Kathie Lou1741636MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910861991303321Life in a Cambodian Orphanage4167749UNINA
