Studies in a Muhammadan Village in Palestine. Second volume of Granqvist's study on the Arab Child discussing health and welfare of Arab children.

Orphanhood, child mortality, the value of boy and girl, the relationship between children and parents, between sisters and brother, and between young and old in society are child and youth problems discussed. Similarly as in the first volume, most of the people mentioned here belong to the village of Artas, south of Bethlehem.

Sociological study of the Arab child based on information gathered by the author during two visits of altogether three years in Palestine between 1925-1931. "This book is the first part of my study on the Arab child. The second part which I will call 'Child Problems among Muhammadan Arabs' is ready in manuscript, but owing to post-war difficulties it can only be published later (it was published in 1950). It will include an Index, a list of Biblical Parallels, and References. This work can be read independently of my work on marriage but can also be taken as a continuation of it. Both works treat the same group of people. Both of them are based chiefly upon the experience of Arab folk-life and Arab customs and habits which I obtained in the village of Artas which lies south of Bethlehem on the edge of the desert" (author). The work treats pre- and post-natal customs, birth, mother and babe, play and work, education and character, and circumcision in the broader sociological context. Includes three pages of books published by author at rear. Wrappers with wear along edges, small tears and chips at head and tail of spine, and a few small stains on back wrapper. Starting at half title. Previous owner's stamp on half title. Minor age toning. Wrappers and interior in overall good condition.

She was a student of Edvard Westermarck. In the 1920s Granqvist arrived at the village of Artas, just outside Bethlehem in the then British Mandate of Palestine as part of her research on the women of the Old Testament. She had gone to Palestine "in order to find the Jewish ancestors of Scripture". What she found instead was a Palestinian people with a distinct culture and way of life. She therefore changed the focus of her research to a full investigation of the customs, habits and ways of thinking of the people of that village. Granqvist ended up staying until 1931 documenting all aspects of village life. In so doing she took hundreds of photographs. Quelle: Wikipedia UG28 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 625.
