Whose Childhood Is It?

Edited by Richard Eke, Helen Butcher and Mandy Lee (Continuum, 19.99, ISBN 978-0-8264-9981-3)

This book sets out key issues and theories that inform our understanding of childhood. Its two central themes are: children's sense of self and adults' cultural fabrications of childhood (as well as their impact on policy and provision for young children); and representations of children.
