Reviews

Khan's timely collection of essays helps us understand the true losses children, youth, and their caretakers are forced to reckon with under COVID-19. Contributing scholars shine a spotlight (as the pandemic does) on gender, race, class, health, educational, and digital inequalities that were already far-reaching in global childhood; however, there is hope in children's agency and activism and a heightened imperative to work toward true human connection and, ultimately, real social change. Ingrid E. Castro, Professor of Sociology, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, USA The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly disrupted the daily lives of children across the globe. COVID-19 and Childhood Inequality offers a powerful, empirical, multidisciplinary look at how children have experienced and interpreted social inequality within the context of a pandemic. From housing instability to online schooling to access to health care to detention centers' responses to family dynamics and beyond, this book provides rich insights that can help us all think more carefully about childhood inequality both during a pandemic and in the eventual aftermath of one. Margaret A. Hagerman, Associate Professor of Sociology, Mississippi State University, USA
