The four monographs reviewed here demonstrate a resurgence in anthropological analysis of children and childhood. This article examines the varying analytical avenues through which this research has recently been directed, including class and social inequality, ethnicity, folklore, and population studies. This article locates this research within the broader comparative literature on childhood and childrearing.
