In the Efe community in Zaire, infants routinely use machetes with safety and some skill, although U.S. middle-class adults often do not trust young children with knives. What explains these marked differences in the capabilities of these children?\u003cbr\u003eUntil recently, traditional understandings of human development held that a child's development is universal and that children have characteristics and skills that develop independently of cultural processes. Barbara Rogoff argues, however, that human development must be understood as a cultural process, not simply a biological or psychological one. Individuals develop as members of a community, and their development can only be fully understood by examining the practices and circumstances of their communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Rogoff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195131339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195131338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.42h x 6.48w x 1.01d","brand":"Barbara Rogoff","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43981482164479,"sku":"9780195131338","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f70866d-615e-4354-b9f9-c657e445c5e9.jpg?v=1683255836","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cultural-nature-of-human-barbara-rogoff-9780195131338","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
