Opis

This book challenges and enriches existing knowledge about law, human rights, and childhood, in and beyond the Israel/Palestine context. It is indispensable for scholars and practitioners interested in human rights, international and comparative law, socio-legal studies, childhood studies, military and terrorism studies, and Israel/Palestine.

Recenzje

'The book is highly original. Viterbo's analysis has the rare quality of both documenting … [previously unknown] realities … and providing eye opening and oftentimes surprising insights … His methodology is a hybrid of empirical, philosophical, and socio-legal approaches, and it is in and of itself an impressive achievement … Terms such as 'childhood' and 'children's rights,' as Viterbo persuasively argues, can be weaponised against children … Despite the focus on Israel/Palestine, this book also makes a unique and highly original contribution to the field of childhood studies in general, and especially to socio-legal studies … [This book] is an exceptional work of academic scholarship.' Zvi Triger, Child and Family Law Quarterly
