The Child in the World The World in the Child: Education and the Configuration of a Universal, Modern, and Globalized Childhood (Critical Cultural Studies of Childhood)

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