About the Journal
Childhood is a major international peer reviewed journal and a forum for research relating to children in a global society that spans divisions between geographical regions, disciplines, social and cultural contexts. Childhood publishes theoretical and empirical articles, reviews and scholarly comments on children's social relations and culture, with an emphasis on their rights and generational position in society.
Book Reviews
Childhood regularly includes reviews of the most recently published books in the field to help readers determine which publications will be most useful to them in their teaching, research and practice.
