When the first edition of this seminal work appeared in 1990, the
sociology of childhood was only just beginning to emerge as a
distinct sub-discipline. Drawing together strands of existing
sociological writing about childhood and shaping them into a new
paradigm, the original edition of this Routledge Classic offered a
potent blend of ideas that informed, even inspired, many empirical
studies of children s lives because it provided a unique lens
through which to think about childhood. Featuring a collection of
articles which summarised the developments in the study of
childhood across the social sciences, including history,
psychology, sociology, anthropology, feminist and developmental
studies, scholars and professionals from developed and developing
countries world-wide shared their knowledge of having worked and of
working with children.
Now with a new introduction from the editors to contextualise it
into the 21st century, this truly ground-breaking text which helped
establish childhood studies as a distinctive field of enquiry is
being republished.
