Publisher's Synopsis
With a new introduction by Sally Falk Moore This series of Classics in African Anthropology is primarily drawn from a distinct family of texts which dominated the academic analysis of society in mid-20th century Africa. The texts reproduced are significant yet often neglected, and have stood the test of time. New edition of Otto Raum's 1939 study of childhood in East Africa, published in association with the International African Institute North America: Transaction Books; Germany: Lit Verlag.
