"In this sophisticated ethnographic study of pre-school children, teachers, and parents interacting in various kindergartens in multi-cultural and multi-ethnic Fiji, Karen Brison explores the complexities of ethnic identity as it is becoming superposed by increasingly important class inequalities. Through their seemingly innocuous play, children emerge in this important book as both the subjects and objects of intersecting forms of social difference." - Niko Besnier, author of On the Edge of the Global: Modern Anxieties in a Pacific Island Nation
"In this ethnographically rich and analytically engaging book, Brison takes us to the multicultural Pacific Island nation of Fiji where recently introduced preschools are shifting views of kin and countrymen. Working with teachers and students in seven kindergartens and focusing on children's play, she compellingly demonstrates how early education is differentiating - both affectively and structurally - wealthier children as members of a neoliberal 'class culture' from poorer children as members of (simplified) ethnic cultures." - Deborah Gewertz, Professor of Anthropology, Amherst College, USA
