Reviews

..."this volume is a must read for researchers and graduate students interested in scholarship that pushes the boundaries of childhood studies. This is a solid first volume in a forthcoming series that, according to the editor, "takes important aspects of contemporary children's lives and through research about current practices and emergent trends poses questions about possible, and alternative, future directions" Anthropology and Education Quarterly, March 2003."
