Childhood with Bourdieu - Paperback

by L. Alanen (Editor), E. Brooker (Editor), B. Mayall (Editor)

This collection is an engaging exploration of how Bourdieu's key concepts - field, habitus and capital - help us re-think the status of childhood. The authors are committed to improving the social status and well-being of childhood in social, economic and political worlds that too often fail to accord children respect for their human rights.
