Far from noncombatants whom we seek to protect from the contamination posed by adult knowledge, children form the very basis on which we fight over the nature and values of our society, and over our hopes and fears for the future. Unfortunately, our understanding of childhood and children has not kept pace with their crucial and rapidly changing roles in our culture. Pulling together a range of different thinkers who have rethought the myths of childhood innocence, <B>The Children's Culture Reader</B> develops a profile of children as creative and critical thinkers who shape society even as it shapes them. Representing a range of thinking from history, psychology, anthropology, sociology, economics, women's studies, literature, and media studies, <B>The Children's Culture Reader</B> focuses on issues of parent-child relations, child labor, education, play, and especially the relationship of children to mass media and consumer culture. The contributors include Martha Wolfenstein, Philippe Aries, Jacqueline Rose, James Kincaid, Lynn Spigel, Valerie Walkerdine, Ellen Seiter, Annette Kuhn, Eve Sedgwick, Henry Giroux, and Nancy Scheper-Hughes. Including a groundbreaking introduction by the editor and a sourcebook section which excerpts a range of material from popular magazines to child rearing guides from the past 75 years, <B>The Children's Culture Reader</B> will propel our understanding of children and childhood into the next century. 284435 1 10 1998 The Children's Culture Reader total:4|5:1|4:1|3:2| 4 15 12 1 293147 0814742327 9780814742327 4 1 3.75 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173467161m/293147.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/293147.The_Children_s_Culture_Reader 3 0 false Mon May 19 07:53:41 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 08 19:11:32 -0700 2008 293147 0814742327 9780814742327 4 1 3.75 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173467161m/293147.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/293147.The_Children_s_Culture_Reader 0 0 false Tue Nov 03 04:04:56 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 04:03:40 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 04:05:18 -0800 2009 293147 0814742327 9780814742327 4 1 3.75 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173467161m/293147.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/293147.The_Children_s_Culture_Reader 0 0 false Sat Nov 01 22:32:27 -0700 2008 Sun Nov 02 05:49:06 -0800 2008 293147 0814742327 9780814742327 4 1 3.75 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173467161m/293147.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/293147.The_Children_s_Culture_Reader 0 0 false Thu Apr 09 15:01:22 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 28 14:27:34 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 09 15:01:22 -0700 2009 293147 0814742327 9780814742327 4 1 3.75 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173467161m/293147.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/293147.The_Children_s_Culture_Reader 0 0 false Mon Aug 04 21:28:15 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 04 21:28:15 -0700 2008 293147 0814742327 9780814742327 4 1 3.75 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173467161m/293147.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/293147.The_Children_s_Culture_Reader 0 0 false Sun May 18 06:50:44 -0700 2008 Sun May 18 06:50:54 -0700 2008 293147 0814742327 9780814742327 4 1 3.75 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173467161m/293147.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/293147.The_Children_s_Culture_Reader 0 0 false Mon Apr 21 18:31:21 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 21 18:31:32 -0700 2008 293147 0814742327 9780814742327 4 1 3.75 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173467161m/293147.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/293147.The_Children_s_Culture_Reader 4 0 false Mon Feb 25 18:02:55 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 25 18:02:55 -0800 2008 293147 0814742327 9780814742327 4 1 3.75 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173467161m/293147.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/293147.The_Children_s_Culture_Reader 3 0 false Thu Jan 10 13:28:30 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 10 13:28:30 -0800 2008 293147 0814742327 9780814742327 4 1 3.75 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173467161m/293147.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/293147.The_Children_s_Culture_Reader 0 0 false Wed Jan 09 21:08:47 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 09 21:08:47 -0800 2008 293147 0814742327 9780814742327 4 1 3.75 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173467161m/293147.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/293147.The_Children_s_Culture_Reader 5 0 false Thu Oct 18 08:00:03 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 18 08:00:03 -0700 2007 293147 0814742327 9780814742327 4 1 3.75 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173467161m/293147.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/293147.The_Children_s_Culture_Reader 0 0 false Fri May 11 20:22:13 -0700 2007 Fri May 11 20:22:13 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=293147
