Children and the Politics of Culture by Sharon Stephens
Exploring the global dimensions of children at risk, this book discusses the notion of children's rights, and the claim that every child has a right to a cultural identity. It reveals how children's everyday lives and futures are often the stakes in battles that adults wage over definitions of cultural identity and state cultural policies.
"Through a series of essays that explore the global dimensions of children at risk, an international group of researchers and policymakers discuss the notion of children's rights, and in particular the claim that every child has a right to a cultural identityThis stimulating volume should interest social scientists across many fields, particularly anthropologists and area specialists, who will benefit from the largely ethnographically based studies it contains."--The Journal of Asian Studies
