Unequal Childhoods: Young Children's Lives in Poor Countries: Contesting Early Childhood

Editat de Helen Penn
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 feb 2005
An expert in her field, Helen Penn discusses the inequalities between and within countries of childhood poverty and how this poverty is recognized and defined through the following case-studies:
  • Kazakhstan - once part of the Soviet Union
  • Swaziland - a country in Southern Africa devastated by HIV and AIDS
  • Himalayan India
  • Brazil - one of the world's most unequal countries.
These four case studies illustrate the diversity and complexity of the responses to the attempts to globalise childhood and highlight the need to address the inequalities of childhood experience.

Recenzii

'Penn has visited the places she describes, so she is able to give first-hand accounts...Penn concludes these shocking snapshots of an international disgrace with positive suggestions about what can be done...It is a powerful story well told.' -Ted Wragg, Times Educational Supplement
'Penn...gives an insight into the practices of governments and international non-governmental organisations. By summarising discourses on these key theories it is possible for readers from all disciplines to understand the key issues being addressed. Further, the language used throughout the book makes it easily readable and understandable.' - Children's Geographies

Descriere

Using case studies from Kazakhstan, Swaziland, Himalayan India and Brazil, this book discusses how poverty is recognized and defined, and how political and economic conditions undermine or even prematurely end the lives of millions of young children.
