African societies. As a mobile and creative kinship practice, child fostering is of growing importance in the global world as it goes along with other forms of mobility such as migration and transnationalism. The book aims to revitalize the study of fostering by situating the issue in more recent theoretical approaches to kinship. It also examines what functionalist and structuralist theory may still contribute to the understanding of child fostering. Historical and recent child fostering practices in several West African countries are discussed from the angles of Anthropology, History and Law. 410 0$aAfrican-Europe Group for Interdisciplinary Studies (Series) ;$vv. 9. 606 $aFoster children$xCare$zAfrica, West 606 $aFoster home care$zAfrica, West 606 $aFoster parents$zAfrica, West 615 0$aFoster children$xCare 615 0$aFoster home care 615 0$aFoster parents 676 $a362.7330966 701 $aAlber$b Erdmute$01129331 701 $aMartin$b Jeannett$01529557 701 $aNotermans$b Catrien$f1966-$01475826 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786968703321 996 $aChild fostering in West Africa$93773885 997 $aUNINA
