This book explores the alternative experiences of children and
young people whose everyday lives contradict ideas and ideals of
normalcy from the local to the global context. Presenting empirical
research and conceptual interventions from a variety of
international contexts, this book seeks to contribute to
understandings of alterity, agency and everyday precarity. The
young lives foregrounded in this volume include the experiences of
transnational families, children in ethnic minority communities,
street-living young people, disabled children, child soldiers,
victims of abuse, politically active young people, working children
and those engaging with alternative education. By exploring 'other'
ways of being, doing, and thinking about childhood, this book
addresses questions around what it is to be a child and what it is
to be marginalised in society. The narratives explore the
everydayness and the mundanity of difference as they are
experienced through social structures and relationships,
simultaneously recognizing and critiquing notions of agency and
power. This book, including a discussion resource for teaching or
peer reading groups, will appeal to academics, students and
researchers across subject disciplines including Human Geography,
Children's Geography, Social Care and Childhood Studies.
