Women, Education, and Family Structure in India

Cora Du Bois
The Harvard–Bhubaneswar, India Project
This paper briefly outlines the 12-year research project that Professor Cora Du Bois of Harvard University undertook, from 1961 to 1973, in Bhubaneswar, Orissa. It was an interdisciplinary project, involving Indian and American graduate students, to study different aspects of post-World War II, post-independence change in this region of India. The different kinds of projects are outlined with some of the ways that socio-cultural change was addres…
Commentary
Drawing on established literature on mothering practices, my commentary addresses four dimensions pertaining to the six case studies in this issue: (1) Who, in each case study, constitutes the cast of characters who provide mothering and why; (2) how do discrete interactions between mothering figures and children provide us with examples of overt socializing efforts and implicit enculturation; (3) what can we infer about the intersubjectivity of …
Environmental Change, Family Adaptations, and Child Development
John and Beatrice Whiting provided both the research tools and the theoretical framework for the author's longitudinal study of children and their families in a rapidly changing town in India. This article describes some of the major findings of that research project, beginning with a 2-year study of young children from 1965 to 1967 and follow-up work with the same children and families through 1999. Results of the Six Culture Study and the large…

Resistance
Since the late 1970s and early 1980s the concept of resistance has become ubiquitous within contemporary cultural anthropology. Theorizing resistance, however, has been problematic from the start and, as I shall argue, a significant part of the problem resides in the anti-psychological position taken by most cultural anthropologists. How can actors protest and resist hegemonic powers if they are not endowed with internalized cultural understandin…

Multiple Caretaking of Infants and Young Children
Multiple caretaking of infants and young children, although nearly universal, remains controversial in the United States. Why? This article addresses that question by first reviewing some of the pertinent cross-cultural record on multiple child care and then by drawing on my own and others' research in India as a case study. The article critiques some of the Western developmental and psychoanalytic assumptions that underlie beliefs that exclusive…

Child Care in India
This article provides an intracultural examination of John Whiting’s “household size and infant indulgence” hypothesis. Inspired by Ruth H. Munroe and Robert L. Munroe’s effort to replicate Whiting’s holocultural study with an intracultural study among the Logoli of East Africa, the author uses similar measures of infant indulgence and household density to examine child care data from India. Explanations are offered for the largely negative resul…

Changing Family Structure
Family Structure, Marriage, Caste and Class, and Women's Education
More than a century has passed since the introduction of Westem-style schooling2 for women in India. In fact, since the late 19th century there has been a rapid spread of such schooling throughout much of the non-Westem world which has become heightened in the post-colonial era. With political

Caste/class and child-rearing in a changing Indian town
An investigation of child-rearing practices among a stratified sample of households in an Indian town indicates that there are some significant differences in parent-child behavior between lower socioeconomic status households and higher status ones. Certain economic factors are identified as affecting how adults handle children, and these are in turn related to differences in children's behavior. Some intra-cultural diversity along one dimension…

Some determinants of sex roles in a changing Indian town
During an investigation of family organization and child-rearing practices in a changing Indian town some variations in sex role behavior were observed. These are described for a more traditional and a more modern sector of the town, and social network theory is used to explain some of the differences found. In addition, certain variations in the organization of sex roles among lower socioeconomic households are attributed to economic factors
