I agree with Ratel. I am a linguistic anthropologist, and this is not the first time I have seen this kind of thing. This “new research” is really just warmed up discrimination. Lots of people have grown up with all kinds of different caregiver interactions and been just fine. If you want to say something about engaging citizens in Brazil, I suggest trying “Insurgent Citizenship” by James Holsten (sp?)j.
