Opis

This book has been an attempt to bring out the essential and inherent ambiguity of the notion of childhood in the world of ideas. Apparently we take the concept of childhood as an arbitrarily created developmental state without much complications, rather it carries the serenity of a pre-lapserian innocence devoid of any pollution. But here an exhaustive effort has been invested to trace the journey of how the very concept of childhood has undergone a detailed evolutionary process and even now exists in a flux of eternal fluidity. The idea of black childhood, parse, is an even more problematic genre which has its origin in the tumultuous battle ground of postcolonial practices.The book takes up a laborious effort to establish the meandering motion of the construction of the black childhood.
