Richard Willis, visiting professor at the University of South Wales, reviews a book which showcases up-to-date theoretical work currently being produced within the field of childhood studies
Not for the scholarly fainthearted, Bloomsbury Academic has produced here a series of theoretical contributions based on a diverse and critical range of childhood studies.
The handbook reveals some engaging contemporary themes, drawing on keynote perspectives from the social sciences and humanities.
The work, edited by Balagopalan et al., is subdivided into three parts – subjectivities, relationalities and structures – combining 26 chapters offering a unique conceptual framework underpinned by a wide-ranging scope of inter-disciplinary perspectives.
There is no shortage of applying different theoretical precepts, from critical race studies, disability studies and posthumanism to decolonialism.
