Most child development and child psychology texts take cultural diversity in development into account only as an addendum or as a special case--it is not integrated into a comprehensive theory or model of development. The purpose of this text is to redress this situation by enlisting insiders'' and outsiders'' perspectives on socialization and development in a diverse sampling of the world''s cultures, including developing regions that often lack the means to speak for themselves in the arena of international social science. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The unique feature of this text is the paradigm.

In practical terms, this volume enables those interested in cross-cultural research to obtain useful information about similarities and dissimilarities within and across groups, from one source. Additionally, the book serves to stimulate interest in the field and leads the reader to question previously held assumptions and beliefs about culture and the manner in which cross-cultural research is conducted....this volume makes an important contribution to the field of developmental psychology and to the study of minority child development. It is encouraging for those trying to advance cross-cultural research and informative for those wanting to learn more about diverse groups in a pluralistic society.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJournal of Applied Developmental Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Greenfield and Cocking...provide a useful framework for examining the influence of cultures in contact on learning and cognitive development....the volume meets the editors' goals of contributing to a cultural-historical approach and to a theory of development that reaches beyond Euro-American norms.
