Historically, children were often understood in relation to their
development towards adulthood, but the 'new paradigm' of childhood
studies has since shown how they should be taken more seriously as
active participants in their own lives. Studying childhood is not
just a question of research on children, but increasingly a
practice of research with them. With this 'new paradigm' having now
come of age, Sally McNamee offers a comprehensive overview of the
current state of childhood studies and its history. Taking a
thematic approach, she looks at how issues such as rights and
citizenship, the state, the family, school, work, leisure, health
and globalisation shape and are shaped by children. The Social
Study of Childhood is an accessible introduction for students from
a variety of disciplinary backgrounds such as childhood studies,
sociology, psychology, social work and education. With reflection
points for discussion and suggestions for further reading at the
end of each chapter, it is an engaging and stimulating account of
how and why children's voices deserve to be heard in today's world.
