- Summary:
- Children's peer culture, as it flourishes when adults are not present, stands between individual children and the larger adult society. Based on eight years of intensive insider participant observation in their own children's community, sociologists Peter and Patti Adler explode existing myths about children's friendships, power and popularity, and the gender chasm between elementary school boys and girls.
