Designing Modern Childhoods: History, Space, and the Material Culture of Children - Rutgers Series in Childhood Studies
Marta Gutman
In industrialized democracies, a broad consensus developed that children should not work, but rather learn and play in settings designed and built with these specific purposes in mind. Here, the authors extract common threads in children's understandings of their material worlds, and show how the experience of modernity varies for young people.
