Born with the destiny of becoming a Mayan sacred midwife, Chona Perez has carried on centuries-old traditional Indigenous American birth and healing practices over her 85 years. At the same time, Chona developed new approaches to the care of pregnancy, newborns, and mothers based on her ownexperience and ideas. In this way, Chona has contributed to both the cultural continuities and cultural changes of her town over the decades. In Destiny and Development, Barbara Rogoff illuminates how individuals worldwide build on cultural heritage from prior generations and at the same time create new ways of living. Throughout Chona''s lifetime, her Guatemalan town has continued to use longstanding Mayan cultural practices, such asincluding children in a range of community activities and encouraging them to learn by observing and contributing. But the town has also transformed dramatically since the days of Chona''s own childhood. For instance, although Chona''s upbringing included no formal schooling, some of hergrandchildren have gone on to attend university and earn scholarly degrees. The lives of Chona and her town provide extraordinary examples of how cultural practices are preserved even as they are adapted and modified. Destiny and Development is an engaging narrative of one remarkable person''s life and the life of her community that blends psychology, anthropology, and history to reveal the integral role that culture plays in human development. With extensive photographs and accounts of Mayan family life, medicalpractices, birth, child development, and learning, Rogoff adeptly shows that we can better understand the role of culture in our lives by examining how people participate in cultural practices. This landmark book brings theory alive with fascinating ethnographic findings that advance ourunderstanding of childhood, culture, and change. | Destiny and Development by Barbara Rogoff Hardcover | Indigo Chapters Books > Health > Mental Health > Psychology & Psychiatry P10174, Barbara Rogoff<
