Opis

Although the idea of child rule is a persistent theme, the metaphor itself has not been properly unpacked with critical reference to the many texts contingent on the authority and/or power of children. This collection shows how representations of child governance have been used for different ideological, aesthetic, and pedagogical reasons.
