The Hidden Life of Girls: Games of Stance, Status, and Exclusion
Wow.. Kids are brats... and Goodwin sure tells us a lot about children in this interesting anthropological look at brats on the playground. The kids she observes clearly have a severe pecking order. Girls bully and belittle boys, boys retaliate, etc. I guess though, it shows you one thing after you read it, people really do never change!By drD
This is a great book though if you are interested in the topic of anthropology, fieldwork, or studies involving children and conversational analysis. There is a lot of insight, and its good if you want to do this kind of fieldwork to see how someone else performed it. The interviews and interactions are quite telling.
