• Sommario/riassunto: This book explores the contentious issue of collective worship in schools, focusing on the experiences of children and the broader social and cultural implications. It examines the negotiation of religious and non-religious identities within educational settings and the impact of these practices on children's rights and ethical development. The work is grounded in sociology and anthropology, drawing on case studies, such as a legal case involving a Church of England school, to highlight debates around secular versus religious education. The author, Rachael Shillitoe, aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how children engage with and are affected by religious practices in schools. The book is intended for scholars and students in childhood studies, sociology, education, and related fields, offering insights into the complexities of religious education in contemporary society.
