Reihe: Social and Political Power

Assembled at the intersection of thought and practice, biosocial power attempts to bring envisioned futures into the present, taking hold of life in the form of childhood and shaping the power relations that encapsulate the social and cultural world(s) of adults and children. The book will appeal to researchers and students interested in taking a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of childhood and power.
