The new edition of this established core textbook continues to give
an insightful, authoritative and accessible overview of competing
theoretical positions on the sociological study of childhood. The
book explores the ways these theories inform key themes, including
education, work, identity and agency. The study of childhood has
taken on an increasingly global focus in recent years, honing in on
how issues of rights, protection and development shape the lives of
children and those around them at political, social and
institutional levels across the world. As a result, this book
guides students through the theories and research on childhood in
both local and global contexts. Author Michael Wyness clearly
illustrates how a study of childhood can inform sociological
thinking on social crises, changes and problems such as
globalisation, criminality and disruption of the social order.
Written for students exploring childhood from a sociological
perspective, this is the essential introduction to the topic. New
to this Edition: - A broadened global focus throughout every
chapter, including more on the developing world. - A revised
chapter on researching children and childhood. - An updated
critical appraisal of children's rights, as well as new data on
child protection and schooling. - The introduction of new key
readings and 'Academic Insights' boxes that explore research on
important topics in more detail.
