Description
Children's Places explores how children and adults from different social perspectives negotiate the 'proper place' of children in both spatial and social terms. The book examines various constructions of childhood, including cultural perspectives that do not distinguish between children as a distinct category of people.
The authors draw on in-depth ethnographic research from Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, Australia, and New Zealand to shed light on the notions of inclusion and exclusion, the placement and displacement of children within generational ranks and orders, and the kinds of places that children construct for themselves.
