Childhood and Innocence in American Culture: Heartaches and Nightmares (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781666940251)

This collection approaches the deconstruction of American "childhood" from a wide variety of critical, interdisciplinary lenses and gestures toward the construction of a more realistic, twenty-first century definition of "childhood"--one which is defined by the real-life struggles of childhood and not by romanticized notions of "innocence."
