Musical Childhoods is one the first anthologies exploring the multifaceted relationship between childhood, anthropology, and music. These 10 essays address a variety of historical and cultural frameworks from choirboys in Seville to post-colonial Malaysia and even American-Jewish summer camps. For the educator looking to dabble into an interdisciplinary exploration of childhood studies or social studies at large, Susan Boynton and Roe-Min Kok’s edited book is an excellent resource.
