sick children within the context of these practices, i.e. there is no straightforward evidence to indicate sick children were stigmatised and that this stigmatisation led to substitution. For this reason, Sawyer delves deeper into evidence for medieval childcare for changelings and dissects all available written or illustrated sources pertaining to the practice and justification of child substitution. In the second chapter of Part I, Care of Changelings, the author depicts the ways in which care of children changed (or did not change) in those who are in some way associated with child substitution. This includes documents pertaining to the sustained care of children who were understood to be changelings (normally via some notable impairment), providing a ‘profitable lens’ to view medieval parental anxieties and continuous efforts into rearing children who need long-term care. The social and emotional realities of parents in this circumstance can differ to hagiographic references (normally divorced of parental experience) that continue to classify changelings as ‘supernatural beings, saints and demons, who follow different rules,’ which allows us to better understand ecclesiastical perspectives in contrast with the parental lived experience. This disparity is further explored through both the ‘nonviolent’ and ‘violent’ care of changelings; i.e. the ways in which parents and communities still provided positive care for these children, as well the negative consequences including an extreme example of burning changelings. The book continues with more vivid detail providing cautionary ecclesiastical tales of the consequences of neglect and poor treatment of children, and a treasure trove of documentary, visual, and translated sources for the reader to serve as a benchmark for further interpretation. Overall, Medieval Changelings is a brilliant and incredibly engaging read and will be of great interest to anyone who is interested aspects of childhood heath, care, and familial and community responses to impaired children.

ABSTRACT Representations of motherhood are rare on Athenian painted pottery from the fifth century BC. This lack of representation is surprising given producing and caring for children was one of a woman’s key duties in ancient Athenian society, and other evidence demonstrates the close bonds women had with their children, especially infants who were all the more in need of care and attention. In this article we explore the entangled lives of mothers and the youngest children – infants – in fifth century Athens to understand reasons for this under-representation. Images of childcare in iconography are surveyed to determine how women and infants are characterised in both private and public spheres. The devaluation, demonisation and appropriation of mothering within the context of fifth century Athenian society is then discussed to understand the impact of the institutional apparatus of motherhood on the experience of mothering.

ABSTRACT Comprising at least half of the population of prehistoric societies, children were ubiquitous on Palaeolithic sites. Despite an extensive record of their lifeways, studying children in the deep past presents archaeologists with unique challenges including differential preservation, the use of children as holotypes, interpretive bias, choice of model for the pace of growth and development, difficulties of defining what is means to be human in the Palaeolithic and the necessity of moving between ethological and ethnographic analytical frameworks. This paper reviews both the difficulties and the prospects of studying children in deep time.

derful childhoods. A critical discussion of key issues in modern society is woven throughout Growing Human, emphasising the relevance of evolutionary biology and anthropology in today’s world. Demonstrating the applicability of both the humanities and sciences to social issues is particularly crucial, given the current academic climate that favours disciplines perceived to have greater economic impacts. Themes discussed include feminism, climate change, the need for global equity in access to education, and issues of social inequality more broadly. Throughout, Hassett also shows her skill as a consummate communicator, breaking down complex evolutionary concepts into accessible formats and keeping readers engaged with her quirky sense of humour and references to social media. Although a basic knowledge of evolutionary theory and the inner workings of academia will aid readers in getting the most out of this volume, it is largely accessible and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to gain a more nuanced understanding of childhood, including anthropologists, biologists, medical practitioners, mental health professionals, and teachers. Growing Up Human represents an important contribution to popular science, re-introducing the public to evolutionary thinking, reiterating the complexity of reproduction, and emphasising the role of multiple social actors in reproduction and childcare at a time where fundamentalist, sexist thinking predominates some arenas. This book also provides a keystone contribution to the scientific literature by providing a clear summary of current research and clear directions for future investigation.

ABSTRACT This study analyzes photographs found in historical archives of Bedouin children in Palestine from over a hundred years ago. The Bedouin children were photographed in their natural environment by foreign European photographers touring the Holy Land. Young children were photographed held by their mothers, at work, on a path, or near the tent. The research unravels the context in which the pictures were constructed, documented, and archived. The study explores how colonialist photography in the region generated tropes of presentation of Bedouin children and examines its effects on forms of representation of their childhood of the time. The Bedouin women’s inferior status in society and its impact on the documentation of women and children are also examined. The study highlights notions of other children dressing up as ‘Hebrew Bedouins’ for studio portraiture as part of an orientalist cliché.

Small Bites is an attempt to comprehensively examine the gargantuan issues of child feeding and nutrition, both today and in the past. Tina Mo ff at uses an innovative combination of theoretical frameworks (including the biocultural approach, life history theory and critical food theory) in her attempt to unravel the factors that contribute to child feeding practices on both an individual and structural level. Beginning with an evolutionary perspective, moving through historical practices and the industrialisation of food, and ending by thinking about what lies ahead for childhood feeding practices, the book feels well-rounded and relevant not just to anthropologists, but also to policy makers, educators, caregivers, and the public as a whole.
小咬是一个尝试全面检查儿童喂养和营养的巨大问题，无论是在今天和过去。蒂娜·莫·夫特(Tina Mo ff)使用了一种创新的理论框架组合(包括生物文化方法、生活史理论和批判食物理论)，试图在个体和结构层面上揭示影响儿童喂养实践的因素。从进化的角度开始，通过历史实践和食物工业化，并以思考儿童喂养实践的未来结束，这本书不仅对人类学家，而且对政策制定者，教育工作者，护理人员和整个公众都很有意义。

ABSTRACT The industrialised production of baby food in the UK and in the USA starts in the late nineteenth century with technological advancements in food preservation. It also led to a flourishing of promotional advertisements. The study analyses baby food advertisements by the brands Allenbury and Mellin at the early stages of their business (1880s–1940s). Visual and verbal analyses are conducted to investigate how children were characterised in advertisements. The aim of the study is to understand the extent to which baby food advertisements were a reflection of the changing role of children in British and American society.

her own privilege and lens as a white, middle class mother and Canadian anthropologist, and undoutebly this has affected her framing of this book. She does focus heavily on the food expectations and industry of North America. ‘Healthy’ food is defined using Canadian government guidelines, for example, and the children’s food industry discussion focuses on those foods commonly marketed to children in North America. However, she incorporates literature and her own case studies from elsewhere in the world, ensuring that the book remains relevant to those outside of a North American context. Ultimately, as Moffat notes, children embody our social, cultural and political norms around feeding, as well as environmental constraints on food availability. The anthropological study of childhood feeding does not just tell us about the nutrients children are taking in, but also about the world around them as a whole. In Small Bites Tina Moffat explains how the negative effects of our food systems are disproportionately affecting our children, and this book is a call to action to do something about it.
