Samenvatting:

This book applies cultural psychology to the phenomenology of everyday life, emphasizing the complex realities of living. It explores education, work, and life environments, highlighting differences in pre-school organization in Japan, Britain, and Colombia, while noting the continuity of human social roles globally.

This book brings to cultural psychology the focus on phenomenology of everyday life. Whether it is in the context of education, work, or exploration of life environments, the chapters in this book converge on the need to give attention to complex realities of everyday living. Thus, a description of pre-school organization in Japan would be in its form very different from school organization in Britain or Colombia—yet the realities of human beings acting in social roles are continuous around the world.
