Description

Explore the complex relationship between development discourses and the concept of the 'poor child' in this academic study from Routledge. This book examines why existing frameworks regarding childhood and poverty require radical revision. It looks closely at how the child at the center of development activity is often measured against an idealized, globalized subject. Readers will examine the theoretical and methodological challenges involved in creating ethical understandings of childhood and poverty. The text explores how development research and practice can work to unsettle the global child by engaging with the cultural politics of childhood. This work is essential for those studying the intersection of education, poverty, and international development, providing a deep look into the normative discourses that shape modern development activity.
