Drawing on and concluding a landmark series, Contesting Early Childhood, this book offers a review of the emerging critique of the dominant discourse and, equally important, examines the possibilities for change that alternative discourses are opening up, both theoretically and in actual practice. Through argument and example this book:
- provides many examples of emerging new practice
- discusses the conditions needed to further this process of experimentation, diversification and renewal
- offers a democratic challenge to everyone interested in early childhood.
This valuable addition to the literature covers a wide variety of critical issues in Early Childhood education and is a must-read for students of Early Years Education.
