The Critical Role of Conflict Narratives in Human Development"Reviews'Walton and Davidson take us on an enlightening journey, examining over 3000 stories told by children over 20 years of study. Through stories of making and losing friends, of fitting in and rejection, we see how children re-create culture in each new generation through negotiating the moral ground of their everyday experiences of peers, friendships, and conflicts.' - Robyn Fivush, Emory University 'A unique study of children's social thoughts! Walton and Davidson take an exciting new approach to peer relations research by prioritizing children's own voices. Their systematic, insightful, and culture-sensitive interpretations lend a rich, passionate, and powerful narrative voice to children's personal stories of friendships and conflicts in American and Chinese urban schools.' - Yeh Hsueh, The University of Memphis 'Many assume that verbal and aggressive conflicts in middle childhood are primarily impulsive, harmful, and mean. However, Walton and Davidson capture the complex reflective, agentic, and uplifting character of preadolescents' conflict narratives. A powerful and inspiring appreciation of youth entry and contributions to the moral character of their cultures.' - William A. Corsaro, Author of Sociology of Childhood and We're Friends, Right: Inside Kids' Culture 'Compelling narratives on an important topic. Conflict Narratives in Middle Childhood fills an important gap in the child conflict literature, engaging the reader with high-caliber qualitative research.' - Brett Laursen, Florida Atlantic University 'Walton and Davidson take us on an enlightening journey, examining over 3000 stories told by children over 20 years of study.
