Description

The Global History of Childhood Reader is an essential academic collection examining how childhood has been understood and experienced across cultures and centuries. This thematically structured anthology brings together key chapters and articles that trace the evolution of childhood as a social construct, revealing both universal patterns and profound regional differences in how societies have defined and treated young people. The reader explores why the twentieth century, often called the "century of the child" in Western scholarship, failed to deliver that promise for most of the world's children. Divided into four comprehensive parts covering theories, methodologies, constructions, and comparative perspectives, this Routledge reader provides historians, educators, and students with a representative sampling of contemporary historiography whilst addressing the field's most pressing questions about childhood across different time periods, geographies, and social contexts.

Key Features

The Global History of Childhood Reader organises primary and secondary sources thematically to explore childhood as a social construct rather than a fixed biological category.

This Routledge collection examines both commonalities and differences in how childhood has been constructed globally, moving beyond Western-centric interpretations.

The reader challenges the notion that the twentieth century was universally a golden age for children, presenting evidence of how many young people experienced inequality and hardship.

Four-part structure guides readers through theoretical frameworks, methodological approaches, historical constructions, and comparative global perspectives on childhood.

Essential resource for history students and scholars seeking comprehensive overview of childhood historiography with attention to non-Western and marginalised voices.
