Media Reviews
Good teasing out of the concern and construction of childhood by adults and society Mary Andall, Canterbury Christ Church University.
The book is a treasure trove of chapters on diverse aspects of young people's worlds and how to research them. It is refreshing to see such a collection across the age range within one volume Howard Stones, Leeds Metropolitan University.
Children's and Young People's Cultural Worlds is a gem. It is timely and highly engaging with broad coverage including the role of new electronic media in the lives of children in youth across a number of contexts. The contributors are among the best researchers in childhood studies and their chapters are beautifully written and full of important insights. This is an excellent book for classroom use at the undergraduate and graduate level and one that every serious scholar of childhood studies will turn to time and time again for its rich substantive and theoretical knowledge. Professor William A. Corsaro, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA
Bragg and Kehily(1)s collection is a definitive, comprehensive text, written by a group of leading scholars: it will be of value to anyone seeking an authoritative, up-to-the-minute introduction to the field. Professor David Buckingham, Loughborough University, UK
