- Summary:
- This book develops key links between the study of childhood and social theory. Through a consideration of the twin dimensions of childhood -- as a structural feature of societies and as a context of children's everyday lives -- the book reveals childhood's socially constructed character. Organized around themes such as space, time, culture, the body, and work, it explores the differences in recent approaches to childhood research, inviting valuable new insights into the study of childhood.
