The importance of early childhood care and education (ECCE) in the
lives of very young children is gaining increasing attention around
the globe and yet there is a persistent lack of diverse knowledge
perspectives on this critical phase. This stems from dominant
Eurocentric framings of early childhood research, and related
theories. Early Childhood Care and Education at the Margins
provides contextual accounts of ECCE in Africa in order to build
multiple perspectives and to promote responsive thought and
actions. The book is an entry point to knowledge production for
birth to three in Africa and responds to the call for the field to
be in dialogue with different perspectives that attempt to map
concepts, debates and contemporary concerns. In this book, a group
of African authors, representing both Anglophone and Francophone
Africa, provide insider's perspectives on a wide range of
geographic, cultural and thematic positions. In so doing, they show
the breadth and depth of ideas on which the ECCE field draws. The
chapters in the volume highlight a range of topics including
poverty, early socialisation, local care practices, gendered roles,
and service provision. They open up important points of departure
for thinking about ECCE policy, practice, theory and research. The
book presents African perspectives in a globalising world. It is
therefore suitable for an international readership. It includes
cross-cultural comparisons as well as critiques of dominant
discourses which will be of particular interest to academics,
researchers and postgraduate students active in the field of ECCE,
childhood studies, cultural studies and comparative education.
