This is the first book to address the urgency of a mother's desire to convey to her child what matters most to her and in particular to her son. It is by this vehicle of cultural transmission that women have principally acted in history to convey to their sons the legacy of their cultural experience. In tracing the cultural formation of sons by their mothers, this book opens a window on the intergenerational transmission of culture.
