Excellent- More about New Directions in Childhood Studies: Innocence, Trauma, and Agency in the Twenty-first Century
New Directions in Childhood Studies: Innocence, Trauma, and Agency in the Twenty-first Century explores how contemporary children's literature, film, and video games depict everyday realities like trauma, disaster, and death, blurring traditional lines between children's and adult content. The essays offer a more contemporary construct of the American child and provide insights into what that construction might mean for contemporary American society and culture.

New Directions in Childhood Studies: Innocence, Trauma, and Agency in the Twenty-first Century recognizes that the conceptual frameworks for understanding the experience of childhood in the twentieth century are no longer adequate and provides significant updates to the construct of American childhood. The chapters in this collection examine contemporary children's literature, film, and video games to explore how everyday realities such as trauma, disaster, and death impact the experience of childhood in America today. In many ways, the essays demonstrate that the narratives blur traditional lines between children's and adult content, taking children's series as subjects while also guiding them through the processes of dealing with the particular challenges. Collectively, the essays develop a more contemporary construct of the American child and offer new insights into what that construction might mean for contemporary American society and culture.
