| Annotation | The author provides a qualitative analysis of how rural development - in particular changing modes of production and learning - shapes inter-generational relationships among the Karen people in northern Thailand. Using long-term ethnographic research with the Karen, she argues that intergenerational relations and household inter-dependency give meaning to ethnic Karen peoples' aspirations for work and family life. She explains how traditionally, during childhood transitions, Karen adults guide children and young people towards mastery of culturally relevant skills and technologies. She discuss how social transformations and rural development in recent decades have led to major changes in Karen household economies and inter-generational relationships. (RH). |
