Childhood is a key site where children come to understand themselves as particular kinds of people, not only as individuals but also as members of social and cultural groups. This compelling and accessible book explores how immature humans enter into political, economic, social and cultural life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Integrating key theories from a range of disciplines, Karen Wells provides a set of analytical tools to explore how culture, society, politics and economics shape childhood and children's lives. She explains how childhood is not only culturally shaped, but also formed at the intersection of politics and economics. At this intersection between governing practices and the affordances of children's bodies, young subjects are made. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eChildhood Studies\u003c\/i\u003e will be essential reading for students and scholars in childhood and youth studies and related disciplines, and for anyone who wants to understand the impacts of social inequality on children and what it means to be a child in the contemporary world.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e1 Making young subjects\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2 The disciplines\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e3 Governing through race, governing through childhood\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e4 Policing gender\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e5 Class discrimination in childhood\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e6 Disability in Childhood Studies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e7 Children’s bodies matter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e8 Development psychology and Social Identity Theory\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e9 Consuming childhoods\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e10 Conclusion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Psychology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Psychology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Psychology%20%5BJM%5D%22\"\u003eJM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407332995352,"sku":"9780745670232","price":38.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745670232.jpg?v=1784162849","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/childhood-studies-making-young-subjects-hardback-9780745670232","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
