Description
Kid Power: A New Perspective on Intergenerational Relations This book challenges the prevailing view that power has shifted from adults to children in recent years. Instead, it argues that kid power is inter-generational, multi-dimensional and distributed variably across different children. The authors draw on the work of Lukes and Foucault to develop a nuanced understanding of how power operates within families, communities and societies. They examine children's political activism, digital power and their roles within families and communities, highlighting the complexity of kid power in the 21st century. A timely re-examination of kid power is also offered in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.
