Recenzii

'Stephen Kline's study of the politics of risk discourse and the globesity 'epidemic' takes us beyond the tired reliance on moral panics and sanctimonious finger waving by demonstrating how a thoughtful, deft analysis of social problems can open up possibilities of new approaches and ways of seeing children's consumer empowerment.' - Daniel Thomas Cook, Department of Childhood Studies, Rutgers University, USA
'[This] book provides a richly detailed historical perspective, which sets the present debates about food marketing in context through a meticulous and wide-ranging scholarship. In Kline's hands the "Globesity epidemic" becomes a window onto a much larger scene where parents and children need to navigate a sensible take on a vast array of personal and risky choices, while being surrounded on all sides by the competing pressures of commercial interests and government policy responses.'- William Leiss, University of Ottawa, Canada
'Steve Kline has an aptitude for provoking us to look at children's consumerism in a different way as he unpacks the complex interplay between food marketing, family lifestyle and the neoliberal marketplace. Based on sound theory and original empirical work this book offers a fresh perspective on the medicalised discourses on 'globesity' forcing us to rethink our moral panic about children's time spent in front of the TV screen.' - David Marshall, Professor of Marketing and Consumer Behaviour, University of Edinburgh Business School, UK
