Críticas:
This is an ideal book to introduce students of contemporary childhoods to issues of gender and sexuality. It explains and demystifies complex issues and encourages students to engage with these ideas through the use of in-text activities. An essential addition to student reading lists.

This is a remarkably readable and comprehensive portrait of gender and sexuality in childhood. Kane has brought together cutting edge research and vivid examples from across the social sciences. Her concise prose and key questions are thought provoking and will engage students of both childhood studies and gender and sexuality studies.

Rethinking Gender and Sexuality in Childhood is an important review of contemporary research and advocacy, premised upon the need to listen to a diversity of children's voices and respect their participation in constructing their own realities. Its focus on children's rights through the lens of gender and sexuality is timely and will be useful for students, researchers, activists and practitioners interested in current key issues affecting children, such as sexual and relationship violence, poverty, and homophobic discrimination.

Reseña del editor:
Rethinking Gender and Sexuality in Childhood explores gender and sexuality in children's lives, from early childhood through adolescence, bringing together key inter-disciplinary perspectives. Kane explores how childhood gender and sexuality are constructed, resisted, and refined within children's peer cultures, within social institutions like the family, education, and media and the role the state holds in structuring children's lives - defining their rights and opportunities through gender and sexuality-related policies and programs.
Examples of research, interviews, activities, key points and guidance on further reading encourage the reader to actively engage with the material and to develop a critical relationship with the content.
Rethinking Gender and Sexuality in Childhood is essential for those studying childhood at undergraduate and graduate level and of great interest to those working with children in any field.
