More than 40,000 children die daily in the developing world from
avoidable sickness and disease. Tens of millions of children labour
in mines, mills and sweatshops, or scavenge for a living on city
streets and dumps. In the so-called developed world, children's
lives are similarly blighted by drugs, alcohol, sexual abuse and
violence. Children of the rich are unhealthily obsessed with
consumerist desires while children of the poor suffer from lack of
opportunity. The global market is responsible for both of these
ills. In Children of Other Worlds Jeremy Seabrook examines the
international exploitation of children and exposes the hypocrisy,
piety and moral blindness that have informed so much of the debate
in the West on the rights of the child. Seabrook insists that the
whole question of protecting children's rights must take into
consideration the structural abuses of humanity that are inherent
in globalisation.
