Raised in Captivity

Raised in Captivity

America prides itself on being a child-centered society, and the notion of family values has become a touchstone of establishment politics. Yet a close look at many actual circumstances of American life reveals a society that favors powerful adults over needy children. That, in a nutshell, is the central argument of Raised in Captivity, and Lucia Hodgson backs up her cri de coeur with hard evidence provided by the latest trends in politics, economics, social theory, and jurisprudence. The author, who directs a children's study center in Santa Monica and is a consultant to the Harvard Project on Schooling and Children, is convinced that it is terrifying, difficult and dangerous to be a child in this society. With this book, she should convince many readers, as well. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
