Based on the author?s long-term field research among several San groups of Southern Africa, this book reconsiders hunter-gatherer childhood using ?play? as a key concept. Playfulness pervades the intricate practices of caregiver-child interactions among the San: immediately after birth, mothers have extremely close contact with their babies. In addition to the mother?s attentions, other people around the babies actively facilitate gymnastic behavior to soothe them. These distinctive caregiving behaviors indicate a loving, indulgent attitude towards infants. This also holds true for several language genres of the San that are used in early vocal communication. Children gradually become involved in various playful activities in groups of children of multiple ages, which is the major locus of their attachment after weaning; these playful activities show important similarities to the household and subsistence activities carried out by adults. Rejuvenating studies of San children and hunter-gatherer childhood and childrearing practices, this book aims to examine these issues in detail, ultimately providing a new perspective for the understanding of human sociality. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies on the Anthropology of Childhood and Youth 606 $aSociology 606 $aSocial groups 606 $aEthnology 606 $aAnthropological linguistics 606 $aBiotic communities 606 $aPopulation biology 606 $aEthnology?Africa 606 $aCulture 606 $aCommunity psychology 606 $aSociology of Family, Youth and Aging 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 606 $aLinguistic Anthropology 606 $aCommunity and Population Ecology 606 $aAfrican Culture 606 $aCommunity Psychology 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aSocial groups. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aAnthropological linguistics. 615 0$aBiotic communities. 615 0$aPopulation biology. 615 0$aEthnology?Africa. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aCommunity psychology. 615 14$aSociology of Family, Youth and Aging. 615 24$aSociocultural Anthropology. 615 24$aLinguistic Anthropology. 615 24$aCommunity and Population Ecology. 615 24$aAfrican Culture. 615 24$aCommunity Psychology. 676 $a307.2089961 676 $a300 700 $aTakada$b Akira$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0894282 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910416147403321 996 $aThe Ecology of Playful Childhood$91997648 997 $aUNINA
