Description: Childhood and Nation explores the historical and manifold current relations between nation and childhood. Millei and Imre bring together an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars from education, policy studies, political science, sociology, anthropology, literature, and psychology to address many pressing questions of today. The analytical incisions created by nation and childhood bring answers to the following questions: How do national agendas related to economic, social and political problems exploit children and tighten their regulation? How do representations of nations take advantage of ideals of childhood? Why do nations look to children and search for those characteristics of childhood that help them solve environmental and humanitarian issues? By linking two of the foremost categories of life in the modern world, childhood and nation, this book opens a new vista for thinking about the contemporary world.
