Infancy and Culture: An International Review and Source Book
provides a cross-indexed, annotated guide to social and behavioral
studies of infants of color. Derived from five major data bases of
published scientific literature, this volume was designed to
elevate the scientific study of infants of color to a level
reflecting their majority status in the world's population. While
the vast majority of the world's infants are infants of color, a
scan of 175 journals only resulted in 386 studies. This crisply
underscores the need to intensify studies of cross-culture and
within-culture variability, in order to broaden our understanding
of the cultural impact on social and behavioral development during
the first few years of human life. Infancy and Culture takes a
small step in that direction by cataloging the extant literature by
geographic region, and by cross-indexing it by topical content.
Citations are numbered consecutively throughout the text and both
author and subject indexes are pegged to the citation number, not
to page numbers, thereby facilitating one's search for all
published literature related to a particular topic. Finally, the
editors provide a brief summary of the research for each chapter in
the volume.
