N2  - "This book examines the potential of craft-centered education to influence gender socialization of rural children through a philosophical, sociological and psychological lens. It discusses Gandhi's vision of craft-centered 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-centered education. It studies the students' experience, its impact on their intellectual and physical development and the nature of the interaction between the socialization 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"--
