Children's Geographies - Playing, Living, Learning (Hardcover)

Children's Geographies offers an overview of a rapidly expanding area of cultural geography and contributes to the current 'spatial' approach to the social studies of childhood. Drawing on original research and extensive case-studies in England, Wales, the USA, Zimbabwe, Bolivia and Indonesia, the book analyses children's experiences of playing, living and learning. Fully engaging with current debates about the nature of childhood the contributors explore:
* children's experiences of after school care
* street cultures amongst homeless children
* teenage girls and 'public' space
* gender relations in nineteenth century playgrounds
* the commercialisation of leisure space for children
* children's role in transforming cyberspace
* the construction of 'family time'.
