Beschreibung:
Lost Kids examines adults' misgivings about, and the inadequate care of, vulnerable children. From explorations of interracial adoption and the treatment of children with disabilities to discussions of the cultural construction of the hopeless child, this multifaceted collection rejects the essentialism of the "priceless child" or "lost youth" - simplistic categories that continue to shape the treatment of those who deviate from the so-called norm.
Introduction / Mona Gleason, Tamara Myers, Leslie Paris, and Veronica Strong-Boag
