How are babies carried? How are they taken care of? What are they fed? What do they wear? Even in this increasingly homogenous world, there is still a remarkable amount of variation in the way infants are cared for.From New Guinea to India, and from Africa to South America, Babies Celebrated travels the globe to reveal how the youngest members of a family live in a wide range of places and cultures. More than 200 stunningly intimate photographs and fascinating, authoritative interviews with specialists in the societies being discussed reveal details of life in Sioux, Manchu, Patagonian, and many other communities.In five sections--bathing, clothing, carrying, sleeping, and family--this unique book, first cousin to The Family of Man, offers an unparalleled introduction to child-rearing traditions around the world.Bıatrice Fontanel and Claire d'Harcourt are the authors also of Abrams' Babies: History, Art, and Folklore.Bıatrice Fontanel is a French journalist and author of Abrams' Support and Seduction: A History of Corsets and Bras. She has written several children's books and many magazine articles.Claire d'Harcourt is an editor, book designer, and illustrator.
Review:
"With the guidance of 16 cultural anthropologists, the authors, Bıatrice Fontanel and Claire d'Harcourt, explore--in words and in photographs collected from numerous sources--the many ways that anxious parents around the world clothe, feed, soothe, transport, bathe and otherwise protect and placate the fussiest members of their societies."
Suzanne MacNeille, New York Times Book Review, 12/27/1998
