Early childhood in rich countries is a time when children are
protected, and their playfulness and curiosity is encouraged.
However, this perception co-exists with toleration of political and
economic conditions that grossly undermine or even prematurely end
the lives of millions of young children in poor countries. This
book discusses how this poverty is recognized and defined through
the following case-studies: * Kazakhstan - once part of the Soviet
Union * Swaziland - a country in Southern Africa devastated by HIV
and AIDS * Himalayan India * Brazil - one of the world's most
unequal countries. These four case-studies illustrate the diversity
and complexity of the responses to the attempts to globalize
childhood, and highlight the need to address the inequalities of
childhood experience. This book will be invaluable to anyone on
early childhood courses with an international focus or studying
early childhood in an international context.
