Includes bibliographical references (p. 186-209) and index. Childhood in a global context -- Policy and practice -- Race, class and gender -- Children and families -- School and work -- Children and politics -- Children and youth at war -- Rescuing children and children's rights. This compelling new book offers a unique global perspective on children's lives throughout the world. It shows how the notion of childhood is being radically re-shaped, in part as a consequence of globalization. Taking an engaging historical and comparative approach, the book discusses wide-ranging issues such as children and war, child labour and young people's activism around the globe. |
