| Sumario: | You see it in every schoolyard: the girls play only with girls, the boys play only with boys. Why? And what do the kids think about this? Breaking with familiar conventions for thinking about children and gender, this publication develops fresh insights into the everyday social worlds of kids in elementary schools in the United States. The author draws on her daily observations in the classroom and on the playground to show how children construct and experience gender in school. With rich detail, she looks at the "play of gender" in the organization of groups of kids and activities. It is argued that the organization and meaning of gender are influenced by age, ethnicity, race, sexuality, and social class, and that they shift with social context. Gender identity is not seen through the lens of individual socialization or difference, but rather as a social process involving groups of children. The book provides new insights about children, and offers teachers practical suggestions for increasing cooperative mixed-gender interaction. |
