The study of childhood in academia has been dominated by a
mono-cultural or WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich,
and democratic) perspective. Within the field of anthropology,
however, a contrasting and more varied view is emerging. While the
phenomenon of children as workers is ephemeral in WEIRD society and
in the literature on child development, there is ample
cross-cultural and historical evidence of children making vital
contributions to the family economy. Children's "labor" is of great
interest to researchers, but widely treated as extra-cultural-an
aberration that must be controlled. Work as a central component in
children's lives, development, and identity goes unappreciated.
Anthropological Perspectives on Children as Helpers, Workers,
Artisans, and Laborers aims to rectify that omission by surveying
and synthesizing a robust corpus of material, with particular
emphasis on two prominent themes: the processes involved in
learning to work and the interaction between ontogeny and
children's roles as workers.
