First published in 1990, this is a second, revised and wholly updated edition of James and Prout's acclaimed seminal work on the study of childhood. The book contains a collection of articles which draw on a variety of disciplines (history, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and feminist and developmental studies) to show how childhood is constructed in society. Scholars and professionals from developed and developing countries worldwide share their knowledge of having worked with children. They provide insights which, at the time of the first edition, were evidence of a far greater need for such a childhood study. This second edition is a necessary update for all educationalists and professionals involved with children.
