Conceptualized as either harbingers or saboteurs of a bright, secure tomorrow, they have motivated many adult-driven schemes to effect a positive future. But have all children benefited from these programs and initiatives? \u003ci\u003eLost Kids\u003c\/i\u003e examines adults' misgivings about, and the inadequate care of, vulnerable children. From explorations of interracial adoption and the treatment of children with disabilities to discussions of the cultural construction of the hopeless child, this multifaceted collection rejects the essentialism of the \"priceless child\" or \"lost youth\" - simplistic categories that continue to shape the treatment of those who deviate from the so-called norm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mona Gleason\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774816864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774816861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2010 pg. 145","brand":"Mona Gleason","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086849519871,"sku":"9780774816861","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_47c22794-bb67-4a19-a150-0bc82111aede.jpg?v=1769096943","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lost-kids-mona-gleason-9780774816861","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
