First Find Your Child a Good Mother

The Construction of Self in Two African Communities

Beschreibung

Through a comparison of the life circumstances, child-rearing practices, and personalities of the FulBe and their former slaves, the RiimaayBe, this book develops an alternative theory of the way personality is formed in the Fulani society of West Africa. Riesman discusses the characters, economies, and life plans of adult men and women of both groups, focusing on their ideas about the value of relatives.
