Coming from a range of methodological and theoretical orientations,
this volume showcases the lives of children and the policies that
shape children's lives on five continents. Across these research
articles, it becomes clear that we cannot continue to assume a
certain meaning of childhood, because this concept is bound by both
cultural and structural factors. Cultural expectations influence
how societies view children and how children view themselves. A
handful of these studies show how immigrant children and youth
provide particularly interesting insight as they navigate more than
one cultural context. Structural factors also become salient, as
children come from unequal backgrounds, different levels of
economic development, and face varying political concerns. While
these papers come from different doorsteps of the world, cultural
and structural threads of continuity connect them as meaningful for
children. This volume illustrates how international childhood
researchers can use current concepts and theories into unlikely
contexts exposing their limitations and helping to inform more
versatile and robust lines of thinking for children and youth
studies.
