Recenzii
A century on from Mead, childhood is an area where the world desperately needs anthropology, and Lancy's book is a valuable resource for showing why.
This book is a brilliant overview of Indigenous children's learning. I recommend it to teachers and parents. It challenges thinking about children's capabilities and preferences. It challenges claims about what aspects of human development are innate and universal.
Learning Without Lessons is about the acquisition of knowledge through these natural activities children are engaged in during their family and community routines of life. Bringing these ways of learning to life in rich detail is the first goal of this terrific book by David Lancy.
Recommended. Graduate students and faculty only.
I found this book a brilliant overview of Indigenous children's learning. I recommend it to teachers and parents. It will stimulate a re-assessment of whether WEIRD communities are adequately child-friendly. It challenges thinking about children's capabilities and preferences. It challenges claims about what aspects of developmental psychology are innate and universal.
Lancy draws on the research on learning from a wide range of authors from general anthropology and educational anthropology, psychological anthropology, developmental psychology, comparative education, and cultural psychology. He uses ethnographic texts from the books, articles, and monographs assembled in the Human Relations Area Files (HRAF) on learning, parenting, and child development. He includes a very wide range of examples and conceptual frameworks. Indeed, Lancy's reference list is a comprehensive go-to for those interested in this field.
I recommend supplementing Lancy's ethnological insights with analyses of why WEIRD societies approach childhood as they do (I introduce concepts such as adultism, White Saviour Complex, and binary dualisms, contextualised with history of Western science and imperialism). A century on from Mead, childhood is an area where the world desperately needs anthropology, and Lancy's book is a valuable resource forshowing why.
