Children, Social Class, and Education [electronic resource] : Shifting Identities in Fiji /
Brison, K.author.
Class-based self-perception is a rising issue worldwide. Through observation in kindergartens in Fiji, Brison examines how schools instil these ideas in Suva children. Teachers have different goals depending on the social background of the families while students create friendships through shared experience of toys, gender roles, and mass media.
