This book presents a theoretically informed, up-to-date study of interactions between indigenous peoples of Mediterranean France and Etruscan, Greek and Roman colonists during the first millennium B.C. Analyzing archaeological data and ancient texts, the book explores these colonial encounters over six centuries, focusing on material culture, urban landscapes, economic practices, and forms of violence. It shows how selective consumption linked native societies and colonists and created transformative relationships for each. It also examines the role these ancient encounters played in the formation of modern European identity, and colonial ideology and practices, enumerating the problems for archaeologists attempting to re-examine these past societies.Less

The schooling process cultivates the cognitive skills necessary for learning and the psychosocial skills—such as persistence, focus, and perseverance—that yield benefits for youth long after their formal education ends. This chapter highlights the important role of schools and the schooling process in exposing children to a range of experiences that develop their sense of the world around them and give them hope and a vision for what they can be and do in life. The chapter focuses on efficacy beliefs as a means for examining the facilitating role of education. The author discusses four protective processes that promote optimal educational experiences. These are parental intervention and engagement; the transformative relationships that are critical for promoting hope and fostering resilience; the opportunity to learn, promoting future orientation optimism, and a strong academic self-concept in children; and finally the culture of achievement, as perpetuated through policies and programs.Less
