In literature, the needs of children are often obscured by protectionist narratives, which redirect attention to parents by mythologizing the supposed innocence, victimization, and vulnerability of children rather than potential agency. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003ePerils of Protection: Shipwrecks, Orphans, and Children's Rights\u003c\/i\u003e, author Susan Honeyman traces how the best of intentions to protect children can nonetheless hurt them when leaving them unprepared to act on their own behalf. Honeyman utilizes literary parallels and discursive analysis to highlight the unchecked protectionism that has left minors increasingly isolated in dwindling social units and vulnerable to multiple injustices made possible by eroded or unrecognized participatory rights. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach chapter centers on a perilous pattern in a different context: \"women and children first\" rescue hierarchies, geographic restriction, abandonment, censorship, and illness. Analysis from adventures real and fictionalized will offer the reader high jinx and heroism at sea, the rush of risk, finding new families, resisting censorship through discovering shared political identity, and breaking the pretenses of sentimentality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Honeyman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496819896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496819895\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Susan Honeyman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001576046847,"sku":"9781496819895","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_143d4d89-d8ae-4e48-8e74-01efffb08da8.jpg?v=1751601485","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/perils-of-protection-susan-honeyman-9781496819895","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
