Bøger af Berry Mayall

Using existing studies on women's work, and autobiographies and interviews about childhood, Mayall argues that women played a large part in re-thinking childhood as a special period in life, and children as participants in learning and in politics.

To understand how society works, we must take account of children as well as adults, otherwise our explanation omits an important social group. This book argues that we should start from the children's own accounts to show how the organisation of social relations provides an explanation for their social position.
