• Sommario/riassunto: This volume addresses the study of play from an interdisciplinary cadre of scholars in the fields of anthropology, education, psychology, linguistics, and history. In this time of globalization, hyper-capitalism, and discourses that disqualify children's play, we invite the reader to participate in diverse ways of thinking about play and pedagogy.
