Looking for some reading material

[eleanorm]

Would any of you have suggestions of books or websites where I can learn more about the customs followed by different cultures with regards to child rearing? Specifically I am interested in learning about non-mainstream Western practices.

Thanks

Our Babies, Ourselves by Meredith Small

Parents' Cultural Belief Systems: Their Origins, Expressions, and Consequences by Sara Harkness and Charles Super

Six Cultures: Studies of ChildRearing edited by Beatrice Whiting

Breastfeeding: Biocultural Perspectives edited by Patricia Stuart-Macadam

Not positive these are exactly what you're looking for, but hopefully help you get started.
