Recenzje

"This refreshed third edition by Karen Wells is engagingly written, drawing on a wide range of international literature on childhood. Lucidly presented, with a clear-eyed focus on key debates surrounding childhood, the summaries and further reading make it a 'must read' student text for anyone with an interest in Childhood Studies."Anoop Nayak, Professor in Social & Cultural Geography, Newcastle University, UK."Childhood in a Global Perspective offers a superb analysis of the structural forces and everyday practices that shape childhood today. Linking the processes of neoliberal globalization to the lived experiences of children worldwide, the book deftly highlights the impact of uneven development and social inequity on society's most vulnerable population."Katharyne Mitchell, University of California, Santa Cruz
