Lanclos uses their own words to show how they shape their social identities. She explores their ideas about gender, family, adult-child interactions, and Protestant\/Catholic tensions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe are so used to hearing about the terrible effects upon children of ongoing tragedies like Northern IrelandÆs æTroublesÆ that it revives the readerÆs spirit to see someone like Lanclos actually spend time with children and find in their folklore evidence of the childrenÆs resilience. The children in these pages use their folklore to take some power in their circumstances, demonstrating that they are not passive victims of violence and sectarianism. -- Jay Mechling * American studies, University of California, Davis *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e A day in the life\u003cbr\u003e Rudeness and defining the line between child and adult\u003cbr\u003e Masculinity and femininity on the playground\u003cbr\u003e Exploring the Protestant\/Catholic divide\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405775937879,"sku":"9780813533223","price":28.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780813533223.jpg?v=1730493574","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/at-play-in-belfast-childrens-folklore-and-identities-in-northern-ireland-rutgers-series-in-childhood-studies-9780813533223","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
