Drawing on theoretical works by Clare Colebrook, Elizabeth Povinelli, Kathryn Yusoff, Donna Haraway and Bruno Latour the book offers creative readings of sci-fi novels, short stories and films including \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein, Handmaid's Tale, The Girl with All the Gifts, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e Beasts of the Southern Wild, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eand The Broken Earth trilogy\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003eEmily Ashton raises important questions about the theorization of child development, the ontology of children, racialization and parenting and care, and how those intersect with questions of colonialism, climate, and indigeneity. The book contributes to the growing scholarship within childhood studies that is reconceptualizing the child within the Anthropocene era and argues for child-climate futures that renounce white supremacy and support Black and Indigenous futurities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollection.com.
