| | Class number: | 306.8 | | Abstract: | At once provocative and laugh-out-loud funny, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother ignited a global parenting debate with its story of one mother’s journey in strict parenting. Amy Chua argues that Western parenting tries to respect and nurture children’s individuality, while Chinese parents typically believe that arming children with skills, strong work habits, and inner confidence prepares them best for the future. Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother chronicles Chua’s iron-willed decision to raise her daughters, Sophia and Lulu, the Chinese way – and the remarkable, sometimes heartbreaking results her choice inspires. Achingly honest and profoundly challenging, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is one of the most talked-about books of our times. | | Contents note: | The Chinese mother; Sophia; Louisa; The Chuas; On generational decline; The virtuous circle; Tiger luck; Lulu's instrument; The violin; Teeth marks and bubbles; "The little white donkey"; The cadenza; Coco; London, Athens, Barcelona, Bombay; Popo; The birthday card; Caravan to Chautauqua; The swimming hole; How you get to Carnegie Hall; How you get to Carnegie Hall, part 2; The debut and the audition; Blowout in Budapest; Pushkin; Rebellion; Darkness; Rebellion, part 2; Katrin; The sack of rice; Despair; "Hebrew melody"; Red square; The symbol; Going West; The ending; | | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=16399 |
