Summary
The editor has selected 19 articles, published between 1973- 1999, that address various aspects of children's rights. The essays are divided into thematic sections, on origins and early ideas, theory, children's liberation, contemporary thinking on the subject, and some critics. Among the topics and authors of individual articles are Hillary Rodham's 1973 "Children under the law," Bertram Bandman's "Do children have any natural rights?" from the same year, Ann Palmeri's "Childhood's end; toward the liberation of children," and Onora O'Neill's "Children's rights and children's lives." Freeman provides a lengthy introduction that outlines the history and central issues of the topic and includes an exhaustive bibliography, organized by topic. Author index only.
