Create a flyer for "Global Childhoods"

Is not an appropriate book for this module

It has a very useful description of post colonial Malaysia and the fate of the nations children in relation to developing modernity which could be usefully used as a framework to look at South Africa/ Uganda.
There is also some useful information on the African alternative to the UNRC the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC;1990)

Good for comparison between varying childhoods

International topics form an integral part of education based degree courses now so this book is highly recommended as the authors have chosen the most topical issues and debates to discuss.

An interesting insightful read for the learners.

interesting and relevant issues covered in the book.

Used as discussion in our parenting session and child development modules

A critical debate on global childhoods. This text engenders analysis on the construction of childhood and how children live within our modern world. A very useful addition to the discourse of the global child.

This book is set out well with excellent case studies as examples. It is engaging and accessible to students at all levels of study.

key issues and debate as to what childhood is promote questions and high order thinking. I will use this for my level 4 planning.

This extremely thought provoking book challenges the reader's idea of childhood by examining childhood across different social and political divides. It is somewhat beyond the scope of the course I deliver but would make for good extension reading.

This is a very well structured book with a clear social scientific perspective on children and childhood. It provides theoretical perspectives on childhood in a clear way, and the empirical examples are interesting and match the theoretical approaches. I also really like the summaries in the beginning of each chapter.

For the BA (Hons) Child Development and Education this book is being recommended as essential reading. The content of this book is excellent for the modules 'Different Childhoods' and 'Global Education' and my students have benefitted from the arguments, research and theories set out in this superb book.

A good text that introduces some of the key terms, perspectives and conventions internationally.

A welcome addition to the literature which is suitable for year one (and others) students who are learning about different cultures in their traditional contexts as opposed to within the UK.
Should add to the debate which considers the different experiences of children globally and what constitutes childhood.

Useful text for this level of study, particularly in relation to the construction of childhood and the tension between provision, participation and protection

I will be adopting as an essential text for my Children across the World module when it runs in 2015. I found this the most useful relevant text in terms of the way in which theory is illustrated by examples. I like the structure of the text and its interdisciplinary nature.

Critical analysis of this text draws on contributions and debates across the social sciences of approaches to children and childhood. Through stimulating case studies drawn from the lived experiences of children, the authors really support thinking surrounding the ‘notion’ of the ‘global child. A recommended read for the student undertaking studies in sociology, anthropology, education, children's studies, cultural studies, history, psychology, law and development studies. Essential Reading
