The Reader is structured thematically so as to provide both a representative sampling of the historiography as well as an overview of the key issues of the field, such as childhood as a social construct, commonalities and differences globally, and why the twentieth century was not the century of the child for most of the worldâs children.

Her choice of material for this reader moves beyond the usual emphasis on the Western experience to include a wealth of examples from the rest of the world. No less importantly, her commentary draws attention to the insights to be gained from a historical perspective on the campaign launched during the twentieth century for the recognition of children's rights' - \u003cstrong\u003eColin Heywood,\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eUniversity of Nottingham, UK\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"...\u003cem\u003eThe Global History of Childhood Reader\u003c\/em\u003e is a highly recommendable collection of texts, summarizing and collecting aptly the classic and founding texts of the field while simultaneously drawing attention to neglected areas of childhood studies.
