About this book
This book examines the potential of craft-centred education to influence the gender socialisation of rural children through a philosophical, sociological, and psychological lens. It discusses Gandhi's vision of craft-centred education and situates its place within his concept of 'swaraj.'
The volume looks at the construction of gender at home, students' participation in crafts at school, and parental perception of craft-centred education. It studies the students' experience, its impact on their intellectual and physical development, and the nature of the interaction between the socialisation of children at home and in school.
An important contribution to the study of Gandhian practices, the book will be of considerable interest to students and researchers of gender studies, education, non-violence, peace studies, and South Asian studies.
