This book is a result of the growing public and academic interest
in the variety of childhoods that take place side by side in the
multicultural state of Israel, despite its tiny geographical
dimensions. In a collection of groundbreaking articles, the book
describes various features of Israeli childhoods - in the present
and recent past - in both Arab and Jewish societies. The first
section of the book - 'Childhood and Environment in Israel' -
addresses the various spaces in which childhood practices occurred
and still occur in Israel - the intimate home environment, the
educational environment, playgrounds, and many others. The second
section - 'Childhoods and Power Structures in Israeli Literature'
illuminates the perceptions and images of childhood, and describes
the extensive and heterogenic variety of childhood representations
in Jewish and Arab literature. Scholars of culture, society,
education, and literature - Jews and Arabs - have joined forces to
encourage in-depth thinking about perceptions of childhood in the
diverse Israeli society, the status of children in Arab and Jewish
societies, and the resources invested to nurture them from a global
aspect (as individuals with universal duties and rights) and/or a
local point of view (as a national asset, as designers of the
nation's future, or, alternatively, as a burden, nuisance or
threat).

This collection seeks to broaden the discussion of the child image
by close analysis of the child and childhood as depicted in
non-Western cinemas. Each essay offers a counter-narrative to
Western notions of childhood by looking critically at alternative
visions of childhood that does not privilege a Western ideal.
Rather, this collection seeks to broaden our ideas about children,
childhood, and the child's place in the global community. This
collection features a wide variety of contributors from around the
world who offer compelling analyses of non-Western, non-Hollywood
films starring children.
