Editorial Reviews
Review
“In this intriguing book, sociologist Hong Xiao of Central Washington University, compares childrearing values...in the United States and Mainland China...This is a thought-provoking book that could serve as the basis for sociological discussions of what everyone believes they know with surety. I would recommend this book for all levels of undergraduate and graduate classes in sociology, anthropology, and social work...In addition, American parents who have adopted Chinese children may find Xiao's findings of few differences in child rearing values between the two coutries of particular interest.”–
