ISBN: 0815339453 ISBN-13: 9780815339458 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $61.70 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: December 2000 Annotation: "Small Comrades" is a fascinating examination of Soviet conceptions of childhood and the resulting policies directed toward children. Working on the assumption that cultural representations and self-representations are not entirely separable, this book probes how the Soviet regime's representations structured teachers' observations of their pupils and often adults' recollections of their childhood. The book draws on work that has been done on Soviet schooling, and focuses specifically on the development of curricula and institutions, but it also examines the wider context of the relationship between the family and the state, and to the Bolshevik vision of the "children of October" |
