Von der hinteren Coverseite

‘With Empowering Children, R. Brian Howe and Katherine Covell have provided a valuable contribution to an emerging field. They make a powerful and persuasive case that provokes and evokes a response. The most striking feature of the book is its encyclopedic character: it demonstrates an authoritative grasp of a wide range of issues. Particularly important is the capacity of the authors to draw on scholarship and research from around the world – not just North America and Europe, but also Asia, Africa, South America, and Australia.’

‘Empowering Children makes a passionate and well-presented case for children’s rights education. It is very well written and argued, and engages nicely with the relevant literature (both historical and current), making insightful connections between children’s rights education theory, research, and practice. R. Brian Howe and Katherine Covell’s work represents a major advance in the field.’
