Global Childhoods beyond the North-South Divide (Palgrave Studies on Children and Development)

by Michael Bourdillon (Editor), Afua Twum - Danso Imoh (Editor), SylviaMeichsner (Editor)

Synopsis

This book explores children's lives across the Global North and Global South in the context of academic discussions of childhoods. The edited volume offers a unique selection of materials suitable for teaching in the areas of children, childhoods, young people, families, and education in a global context, as well as specific aspects of international development and social policy. While the focus of the project is conceptual rather than practical, the holistic understanding of childhoods that it encourages should also enable practitioners to better ensure that they are improving the lives of the children.
