Yet little is known about the new generation of boys and girls who are growing up in a world vastly different from that of their parents, a generation who will be the leaders of tomorrow. This groundbreaking anthology is an attempt to look at the current situation of children by presenting materials by both Middle Eastern and Western scholars. Many of the works have been translated from Arabic, Persian, and French.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe forty-one pieces are organized into sections on the history of childhood, growing up, health, work, education, politics and war, and play and the arts. They are presented in many forms: essays in history and social science, poems, proverbs, lullabies, games, and short stories. Countries represented are Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, Israel\/West Bank, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Lebanon, Turkey, Yemen, and Afghanistan.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book complements Elizabeth Fernea's earlier works, \u003ci\u003eWomen and the Family in the Middle East\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMiddle Eastern Muslim Women Speak\u003c\/i\u003e (coedited with Basima Bezirgan).
