- Usage of the past to articulate solutions to problems facing
children today.
Topics covered include theories and methodologies in the global
history of childhood, sources for writing a global history of
childhood, education, gender, disability, race, class and religion,
the individual in history and emotions, violence, labour and
illiteracy. With introductions that contextualize each of the four
parts and the articles, further reading sections and questions;
this is the perfect guide for all students of the history of
childhood.
