"Rethinking Children and Families" considers the way we approach
the complex the relationship between childhood, families and the
state, and explores the contested nature of the terms 'childhood',
'family' and 'state'. Theoretical and practice-based perspectives
are discussed within the context of recent key developments.
Examples of research, reflections on research and key points and
guidance on further reading make this a really accessible text.
"Rethinking Children and Families" is essential reading for those
studying childhood and undergraduate and graduate level, and will
be of great interest to those working with children in any field.
Is childhood changing? What effects are new ideas about childhood
having on children's lives? How are children's voices and opinions
affecting the services they use? Contemporary debates on the nature
of childhood, attitudes towards children, the experiences of
children and the emergence of a child rights agenda are resulting
in a re-examination of theory, practice and research in many
fields. "New Childhoods" offers a re-appraisal of the meaning of
childhood - a series of texts that are succinct, accessible and
engaging in introducing undergraduates to key areas of Childhood
Studies, Education Studies and Sociology, and in disseminating new
thinking, research, scholarship and practices. Books in this series
will also be of interest to those who are preparing to work with
children, such as teachers, early years practitioners, youth
workers, health workers and psychologists. Key features include:
boxed summaries of research which engage the reader in analysis;
case studies to explore each issue in context; tasks to develop
critical thinking; and pointers on further reading. Each volume
promotes a child rights perspective, and provokes a re-examination
of child-adult relationships in the contexts of family, community
and state. Insights and experiences across fields such as
sociology, philosophy and psychology are combined to encourage an
inter-disciplinary approach.
