Substantial Content Revisions

The top book in its field is now available in a thoroughly updated version.

Focus is much more on children’s relations with peers than with adults, and my coverage of children’s peer cultures ends in preadolescence.

Offers an interpretive perspective to the sociology of childhood, which I contrast with more traditional socialization or outcome approaches to children and child development.

Updated the explosion of new research on children, focusing especially on studies of peer relations, friendship, children’s peer culture and the social problems of children.

Also updated are the statistical indicators on the quality of children’s lives in both developed and developing societies.

A new chapter which reviews and evaluates different methodologies for studying children and childhood and considers special ethical consideration in studies of children.
