Structural, Historical, and Comparative Perspectives (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781848557321)

In this volume, childhood is conceived as a structural feature of society and comparable across time and cultures. Such perspectives have been relatively under-represented in the "New Sociology of Childhood," which has tended both to stress children's agency and to favour ethnographic methods of inquiry.
