This monograph investigates personal storytelling as a medium of socialization in Taiwanese families in Taipei and European-American families in Longwood, Chicago. The findings open a window on how socialization operates on the ground: Socialization through personal storytelling is a highly dynamic process in which redundancy and variation are conjoined and children participate as active, creative, affectively engaged meaning makers.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 115-125) and index.
