Refusing the Limits of Contemporary Childhood: Beyond Innocence - Hardcover

by Julie C. Garlen (Editor), Neil T. Ramjewan (Editor), Julie C. Garlen (Contribution by)

Each of the essays in this collection considers what lies beyond the limiting discourses of childhood innocence. Instead of focusing on how children "grow up," as has been the focus of developmental science for over a century, we ask what it might mean for discourses of childhood to finally "grow out" of childhood innocence?
