Delegation of Childcare as a Corner Stone of Children's Interethnic Relations
Huber, Veronique Pache
Childhood: A Global Journal of Child Research, v19 n3 p389-396 Aug 2012
Adopting a diachronic perspective, this article explains that childcare and education was, since Ancient times, delegated to non-related persons (governesses, wet nurses, nannies, domestic workers), who provided services in the domestic domain. Since these various professionals belonged often to other ethnic/national groups than their employers, children have been major actors in the establishment of interethnic/cultural relations. (Contains 12 notes.)
