• Sommario/riassunto: Drawing on the latest research around the world, this book examines ideas on parenthood and the 'globalization' of childhood to provide new insights into the dynamics and ambivalences involved in their simultaneous reframing. This truly global volume will appeal to anthropologists and sociologists with interests in gender, childhood studies and the sociology of the family.
