"I suspect that this Handbook may become a 'definitive' text as we
seek to include the perspectives of all types of people, to reach
beyond the boundaries that have separated people of one culture
from those of another, and to socialize our youth to be more
multiculturally sensitive." -Carolyn Stroman, Howard University The
SAGE Handbook of Child Development explores the multicultural
development of children through the varied and complex interplay of
traditional agents of socialization as well as contemporary media
influences, examining how socialization practices and media content
construct and teach us about diverse cultures. Editors Joy K.
Asamen, Mesha L. Ellis, and Gordon L. Berry, along with chapter
authors from a wide variety of disciplines, highlight how to
analyze, compare, and contrast alternative perspectives of children
of different cultures, domestically and globally, with the major
principles and theories of child development in cognitive,
socioemotional, and/or social/contextual domains. This volume will
help readers evaluate ethnicity, socioeconomic, and gender issues
in child development and see how these issues influence individual
development as well as social policy. Key Features Provides
comprehensive coverage: This handbook covers theory, research, and
best practices for traditional agents of socialization such as
family and home, socio-political and religious communities, and
schools and peers, as well as the traditional (e.g., print and
television) and newer media forms (e.g., the Internet and video
games). Presents multiple perspectives: A well-known and impressive
list of contributors from numerous disciplines represent various
theoretical orientations and offer a rich variety of viewpoints
regarding research and methodological assumptions. Offers versatile
utility: This volume will be a valuable resource for program
development, research and evaluation, or hands-on community-based
projects. In addition, the practical applications will be of
interest to broadcasters, public policy and advocacy groups,
teachers, and other childcare professionals.
