The Centres summary of the publication
"The eight essays in this volume argue that for both theoretical
and practical reasons children need to be understood in their
own right. They ask fundamental questions about the cultural
and social variations in the perceptions we have of children and
childhood and the ways these perceptions emerge to influence
and shape our assumptions, preferences and choices concerning
children. The book aims to deepen understanding and intrest by
clarifying the theoretical , ethical and pragmatic reasons for
transforming the political neglect of children into recognition and
action. It concludes by proposing practical lessons that can be
learnt from the debate about children.
