Drawing on theoretical works by Clare Colebrook, Naomi Klein, Donna Haraway and Bruno Latour the book offers creative readings of sci-fi novels, short stories and films including Frankenstein, The Road, Handmaid's Tale, The Girl with All the Gifts and Beasts of the Southern Wild. Emily Ashton raises important questions about and the theorization of child development, the ontology of children, racialization, parenting and care, and how those intersect with questions of colonialism, climate, and indigeneity. The book contributes to the growing scholarship within childhood studies that is reconceptualizing the child within the Anthropocene era and argues for child-climate futures that renounce white supremacy and support Black and Indigenous futurities."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aFeminist Thought in Childhood Research. 606 $aEarly childhood education$xPhilosophy 606 $aPopular culture 606 $aChild development 615 0$aEarly childhood education$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPopular culture. 615 0$aChild development. 676 $a372.21 700 $aAshton$b Emily$01263114 801 0$bCaBNVSL 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910637796903321 996 $aAnthropocene childhoods$92959312 997 $aUNINA
