Opis

This book is for academics, practitioners, policy-makers and civil society actors working in the fields of children's rights, child development, family law and, more broadly, child law and childhood studies. Based on interdisciplinary research, it suggests a new and radical conception of childhood and the meaning of children's right to development.

Recenzje

'This work … is useful for those practitioners working to uphold the rights of children either in government or in the non-governmental and civil society sectors … Peleg's work is a reminder that as human rights practitioners and educators we must continue to build a child-centred pedagogy, one which intentionally strives to amplify the voices of the young rather than regarding what they say as an afterthought. Undoubtedly, this requires work, but it is how we truly reimagine spaces that uphold child rights and child agency.' Marissa A. Gutierrez-Vicario, Human Rights Education Review
