N2  - "This book... offers an introduction to the study of childhood and the different contexts within which childhood exists. The text encourages you to re-think childhood, exploring childhood from different contexts  - from the child within the family, to the global perspective and the child's own perspective.   It enables you to begin to understand childhood in relation to society and to develop the skills to look at childhood from a critical standpoint"--Publisher's website
