The Child in the World/The World in the Child: Education and the Configuration of a Universal, Modern, and Globalized Childhood

Bloch, M.; Kennedy, D.; Lightfoot, T.; Weyenberg, D.

The contributors look at universalizing discourses concerning young children across the globe, which purport to describe everyone in a scientific and neutral way, but actually create mechanisms through which children are divided and excluded. The contributors to this book employ post-structuralist, postcolonial, and feminist theoretical frameworks.
