Rethinking Children and Families by Nick Frost
Looks at the way we approach the complex the relationship between childhood, families and the state, and explores the contested nature of the terms 'childhood', 'family' and 'state'. This book discusses theoretical and practice-based perspectives within the context of key developments.
"'A clearly written and informative introductory text on a subject of enormous contemporary significance, namely those complex relationships that exist between the state welfare apparatus, parents and carers, and children and adolescentsThis book will be of considerable benefit to those students (and their teachers), on a variety of courses, who are looking for a guide to the debates, dilemmas and challenges of the subject matter, an overview of some of the recent research, and the implications of such research and debate for children's lives. It is certainly a worthy addition to the New Childhood series.' Harry Hendrick, Associate Fellow, University of Warwick, UK"
