|  | Raised in Captivity by Nicky Silver
America prides itself on being a child-centered society, and the notion of family values has become a touchstone of establishment politics. Yet a close look at many actual circumstances of American life reveals a society that favors powerful adults over needy children. That, in a nutshell, is the central argument of Raised in Captivity , and Lucia Hodgson backs up her cri de coeur with hard evidence provided by the latest trends in politics, economics, social theory, and jurisprudence. The author, who directs a children's study center in Santa Monica and is a consultant to the Harvard Project on Schooling and Children, is convinced that it is terrifying, difficult and dangerous to be a child in this society. With this book, she should convince many readers, as well. AUTHOR: Nicky Silver
