This popular book provides a compelling introduction to thinking
about childhood in rigorous and critical ways. Karen Wells offers a
unique global perspective on children's lives, showing how the
notion of childhood varies widely and is continuously being
radically re-shaped. Taking children seriously as active
participants in society, the book explores key social issues such
as how children are constituted as raced, classed and gendered
subjects; how school and work operate as sites for the governing of
childhood; and how children both shape and are shaped by politics,
culture and the economy. Taking an engaging historical and
comparative approach, the book discusses wide-ranging topics
including children's rights, the family, play, labour, migration
and trafficking. In addition to updated literature throughout, this
revised third edition includes extensive new material on children's
activism, politics and war, and a whole new chapter on juvenile
justice. The book will continue to be of great value to students
and scholars in the fields of sociology, geography, social policy
and development studies. It will also be a valuable companion to
practitioners whose work involves or impacts children, as well as
to anyone interested in childhood in the contemporary world.
