SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book examines children living in adverse conditions in Vietnam, India, Burkina Faso, Tanzania, Bolivia and Nicaragua. Here Lieten addresses the idea of children as self-conscious actors, highlighting issues of child agency, the structural constraints to that agency, and the consequences that this may have for child-centred development work.
