| Publisher Description: WSQ: Child seeks to address children's representations, experiences, and place in the world. Are they removed from the global economy, or do they represent their own immense market and labor force? How do childhood desires preempt or diverge from adult sexual identities? Which children are assigned affective value, and which are denied care and love? Child examines the multiple roles of children: as consumers representing an immense market; as producers and workers manufacturing goods of every kind; as a significant stream of bodies for trafficking networks of labor, including sex work; and as inmates populating prison systems around the world. Other topics include prenatal imaging technology, the transgender child, and the work of Free to Be... You and Me as a cultural force within second wave feminism. |
