Zusatztext

Children are the most vulnerable population at the time of ever present bullying, domestic violence, gun violence, sexual abuse, trafficking, among others. At the same time, however, children are the most resilient, powerful, vibrant population who can unleash their creativity and imagination to create a social change. In this book, Craig Carpenter offers compelling arguments about ways to empower children, facilitate their capacity to put into action, and cultivate their democratic imagination for social justice. Carpenter brilliantly centers his discussion around children’s capabilities that are often undermined, in oder to showcase their stories of courage and inspiration. Focusing on historical and philosophical accounts of the role of children in the democratic society, Carpenter makes an undeniable intellectual contribution to the field of education, inspiring educators to work with children to further humanize our future. This book is a rarity.
