Sylvia Scribner's research and theory have been monumental in
forming the emergent field of cultural psychology. Her studies of
reasoning and thinking in their cultural and activity contexts
added new concepts, methods, and findings to what many are now
viewing as a distinctive branch of psychological studies. She was
among the first to combine ethnographic studies with experimental
studies in order to determine relationships among indigenous
literacy and logical activities and their cognitive outcomes. Mind
and Social Practice brings together published and previously
unpublished work from Sylvia Scribner's productive and wide-ranging
career. The book is arranged chronologically and includes five
section introductions by the editors, placing Scribner's work in
the context of her life, her commitments, and the political and
intellectual events of the times. Her later, more theoretically
rich writing is enhanced by an appreciation of her earlier work.
