The book is rooted in original qualitative research the authors conducted with a diverse sample of children (aged eight to eleven) across Wales, but this data is also located in the context of existing international research on place identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book features analysis of lively exchanges between children on their local, national and global identities, politics, language and race. It engages with important social and political questions such as whether cultural distinctiveness can be preserved in a context of globalization, whether we are destined to passively receive dominant representations of the nation or can creatively construct our own versions; and whether national identities are necessarily exclusive. Most importantly, the book focuses on what local and national identities mean to children in an era of cultural and economic globalization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluding material on racialization, language, politics, class and gender, \u003cem\u003eChildren, Place and Identity\u003c\/em\u003e will be a valuable resource to students and researchers of childhood studies and the sociology of childhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Scourfield,Bella Dicks,Mark Drakeford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041535126X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415351263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.31h x 6.48w x 0.61d","brand":"Jonathan Scourfield","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064901284095,"sku":"9780415351263","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cb138da7-bc29-4f78-a8c0-b7e4f655f72e.jpg?v=1768671796","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/children-place-and-identity-jonathan-scourfield-9780415351263","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
