Description: "In this study, Dimitra Hartas analyses contemporary childhood. She discusses the plurality inherent in childhood and the forces that shape children's experience of growing up in the 21st century. She engages with new lines of argument about diversity, disability and difference, and critiques the issues that affect children's quality of life such as market-driven values, poverty and civic disengagement."--book jacket.
