In this book Chris Jenks looks at what the ways in which we
construct our image of childhood can tell us about ourselves. After
a general discussion of the social construction of childhood, the
book is structured around three examples of the way the image of
the child is played out in society: the history of childhood from
medieval times through the enlightenment 'discovery' of childhood
to the present the mythology and reality of child abuse and
society's response to it the 'death' of childhood in cases such as
the James Bulger murder in which the child itself becomes the
perpetrator of evil. Part of the highly successful Key Ideas
series, this book gives students a concise, provocative insight
into some of the controlling concepts of our culture.
