Inhaltsangabe

This book explores the intersections between children, childhood, youth and the future and provides critical understandings of how the future is imagined, conceptualised, enlisted, used, negotiated and manipulated to serve diverse political ends and social imaginaries.

It foregrounds the value and utility of the notion of the future as it manifests in the daily lives of children and young people, as well as conceptually in the scholarly discussions and debates which are currently unfolding around this concept and the temporalities of childhood and youth. It enriches understandings of how children and youth imagine, create, and enact their futures and of the ways in which their futures and presents are mutually constituted and intertwined. Going beyond simplistic and stereotypical identifications of children and young people with the future, this edited book presents empirical and theoretical discussions of childhood/youth and the future with a view to offering a deeper and more nuanced understanding of these intersections.

The book will be of much interest to students of Anthropology, Sociology, Geography, Childhood Studies, and Youth Studies.
