"This volume is an important contribution to the literature on children, their life worlds and child-parent interaction in multicultural settingsIt is not entirely new that children have agency. The merit of the authors of this volume is that they are starting to address which strategies children may use both to strengthen and utilize this agency, and not the least point at limitations of agency." * Harald Beyer Broch, University of Oslo "Overall this is a strong volume with a coherent narrative and some very rich ethnography. I enjoyed reading it - all the contributors write well and have focused on the themes of the book. The links made between academic and practitioner work were very well done and the personal voices of the authors come through strongly. This is often an extremely hard task to pull off without becoming self-indulgent but in this case it worked very well." * Heather Montgomery, The Open University, UK
