- Summary
- "This collection brings together a number of innovative research projects that explore the construction of gender and difference using critical research perspectives. Such perspectives diverge radically from current emphases in early childhood research on positivist traditions and developmental psychology and give voice to other theories that can broadly be characterized as feminist, poststructuralist, critical social and critical linguistic.
- The chapters make such theories more readily available to students and scholars of early childhood and show how they can be used to make sense of experience, in particular, becoming gendered in early childhood."--BOOK JACKET.
