This book sheds light on new research related to welfare state,
child care policies, and small children's everyday lives in
instuitutions in a variety of countries. In uniting recent social
childhood research, welfare perspectives and historical and
comparative approaches, the book explores institutionalization as a
feature of modern child life.
Divided into six parts, this substantive reference work charts how
childhood studies has moved beyond developmental issues to focus on
broader issues of children in society, as actors and agents, and as
subjects of policy intervention. It is a comprehensive overview of
key theoretical and empirical work in the field of childhood
studies.
A landmark publication in the field, this state-of-the-art
reference work, with contributions from leading thinkers across a
range of disciplines, is an essential guide to the study of
children and childhood, and sets out future research agendas for
the subject.
In this timely study, high profile researchers contribute to the
burgeoning field of the social studies of childhood with original
and often surprising perspectives and approaches. They demonstrate
that far from being esoteric or negligible, childhood is part and
parcel of the social fabric in both poor and affluent countries.
With chapters on children's agency in small worlds and childhood's
placement in large scale relationships, the book shows not only the
variety of childhood(s), but also suggests that much is common in a
generational context.
