Governing Childhood into the 21st Century: Biopolitical Technologies of Childhood Management and Education (PDF eBook)

Description

Neoliberal logics of government shaping childhood today produce market-based frameworks for understanding childhood risks. In this timely work, Nadesan argues that these frameworks encourage affluent parents to pursue individualized technologies of the self to reduce risks posed to their children's future success.
