What is childhood? In recent years, a cluster of critical and
complex ideas have emerged around the nature of biological, social
and psychological growth in the early years, reflecting the
changing nature of adult - child relations, and political and
cultural understandings of childhood in the twenty-first century.
In this clear and concise book, Michael Wyness offers fresh
insights into the current state of play within childhood studies.
Drawing on work from a number of disciplines including sociology,
geography and history, he discusses the contested terrain of
theoretical and research advances with particular attention to the
notion of children s agency and the concept of global childhoods.
Key conceptual debates are illustrated through a range of
contemporary issues that affect children and adults, including
inequality, child abuse, ill-health, child labour, sexualization
and identity formation. This book will appeal to students and
academics within the fields of sociology, education, geography,
history and childhood studies.
