Recent theoretical developments in sociology, anthropology, and psychology have led to the development of an interpretive approach to childhood socialization. From the interpretive perspective, socialization is viewed as a reproductive rather than a linear process. The process is reproductive in the sense that children do not merely individually internalize the external adult culture. Rather children become a part of adult culture, that is, contribute to its reproduction, through their negotiations with adults and their creative production of a series of peer cultures with other children. In this paper I analyze an everyday activity in the peer culture of young children, their production of dramatic role play. The comparative micro-analysis of the role play of white middle-class and black lower-class children captures how the children’s production and sharing of important elements of their peer cultures contribute to the reproduction of basic features of the American class structure.
