We live in a globalized world in which children live in extreme
poverty, experience stunted growth, are denied access to education,
live as refugees, are subjected to violence, are employed as unskilled
workers and even face threats from terror organizations. Drawing
attention to these critical challenges, this edited collection
develops holistic solutions towards achieving improved conditions and
rights of children globally. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective
spanning disciplines such as psychology, geography, history,
philosophy, theology, education, social law and literature, Being a
Child in a Global World includes over twenty chapters which delve into
the concept and place of the child in the social order, as well as
economic, humanitarian, and political dimensions. Featuring authorship
from around the world, and combining the perspectives and knowledge of
different disciplines, this edited collection is a truly
ground-breaking and comprehensive multidisciplinary study. Providing
answers to an urgent challenge of our time, the collection is a
must-read for scholars who are interested in the global condition of
childhood.
