Shades of Globalization casts an ethnographic eye on the interplay
between local and global influences on the organization and
activities within three early childhood settings, each of which is
located in a context of rapid social change. Stemming from a
four-year study of early childhood thought and practice, each of
the eight chapters touches on a different aspect of the three case
study preschools, one each in India, South Africa, and an
aboriginal community in Canada. The authors take a critical
perspective on taken-for-granted assumptions about what constitutes
the most appropriate preschool experience for children, querying
for example, the meaning of school readiness within local
communities. This book will appeal to those who have an interest in
the diversity of children's lives and preschool experiences
throughout the world - education and social policy makers, teacher
educators, teachers, pre-service student teachers, day-care
workers, parents, community leaders, governmental and
non-governmental organizations and consultants, early childhood
program planners and evaluators, community development workers,
university lecturers, and developmental psychologists. Ailie
