Social thinking on childhood

Meer over het boek

Exploring the historical context of childhood, the book delves into the impact of colonization on family dynamics and the lives of indigenous, black, and mestizo children. It highlights the tension between two cultural perspectives: the relational rationality of global South cultures and the Western instrumental rationality that emerged in 19th-century Peru. This analysis reveals how these conflicting discourses shape contemporary social representations and contribute to ongoing debates about childhood in society.
