註釋The book explores the child-rearing practices of an ethnic minority group (Punjabis) living in Britain and North America. The interviews with two generations of mothers (those of the 1990s and 1970s) covered the myths and rituals surrounding pregnancy, pre-natal care and childbirth, the significance of religion, independence training, gender differences, home-school matters, learning of the mother tongue, bilingualism, identity and racism. Although the study focuses on one ethnic minority group, the insights and attitudes revealed are also relevant in understanding other ethnic minority groups. The book should be of special interest to social and health workers, nursery and primary teachers, students in the field of child development and cross-cultural studies, parents and all others with an interest in the welfare of children.
