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. * Julie Spray, Childhood in the Past - An International Journal *


Author Information

David F. Lancy, Ph.D., is Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at Utah State University. Beginning in 1968 in Liberia, Lancy has done extensive cross-cultural fieldwork and repeated surveys of the ethnographic record with children as the focus. In total, he has authored eleven books and edited three. His current research interests center on the study of delayed personhood, the chore curriculum, children as a reserve labor force, children growing up in a Neontocracy, how children acquire their culture, socio-historical analyses of schooling, and the culture of street kids. His distinctions include the Utah State University Career Scholar award and Carnegie award for teaching excellence.
