Culturing People Notes References IndexReviewsWhat makes this book so special is that it does not stop at description, as do most ethnographies. It goes on to explain Sinhalese childhood and child rearing, doing so within a well-considered, smartly-deployed psychoanalytic framework. --Naomi Quinn professor emerita, Department of Cultural Anthropology, Duke University This is a new kind of research on childhood, one that boldly focuses on a few trajectories of enculturation rather than covering a conventional set of contextual categories ... Chapin carries this off with remarkable sophistication, skill and humility in a book that should be read by every student in this field. --Ethos This is a nuanced and subtle book ...
