Recensioner i media

'Exploring Childhood and Youth adds to a growing list of overview texts designed for students of childhood and youth studies. In their short introduction, editors Victoria Cooper and Naomi Holford frame the collection as an overview of core and emerging ideas relating to the study of childhood and youth, providing critical reflections on what they suggest is “now a firmly established academic field” (p. 1)... A core strength of the collection is the depth of engagement with disability across multiple chapters and from diverse perspectives.' - Kate Cairns, Teachers College Record
