Governing Childhood into the 21st Century: Biopolitical Technologies of Childhood Management and Education (Critical Cultural Studies of Childhood)

by Majia Holmer Nadesan (Author)

Synopsis

In this timely work, Nadesan argues that these frameworks encourage affluent parents to pursue individualized technologies of the self to reduce risks posed to their children's future success.
