Cultures of Infancy presents the first systematic analysis of
culturally informed developmental pathways, synthesizing
evolutionary and cultural psychological perspectives for a broader
understanding of human development. In this compelling book, author
Heidi Keller utilizes ethnographic reports, as well as quantitative
and qualitative analyses, to illustrate how humans resolve
universal developmental tasks in particular sociodemographic
contexts. These contexts are represented in cultural models, and
three distinct models are addressed throughout the text: the model
of independence with autonomy as developmental organizer; the model
of interdependence with relatedness as the developmental organizer;
and the model of autonomous relatedness representing particular
mixtures of autonomy and relatedness. The book offers an empirical
examination of the first integrative developmental
task-relationship formation during the early months of life. Keller
shows that early parenting experiences shape the basic foundation
of the self within particular models of parenting that are
influenced by culturally informed socialization goals. With
distinct patterns of results the studies have revealed, Cultures of
Infancy will help redefine developmental psychology as part of a
culturally informed science based on evolutionary ground work.
Scholars interested in a broad perspective on human development and
culture will benefit from this pioneering volume.
