Reviews

Resonances of El Chavo del Ocho in Latin American Childhood, Schooling, and Societies presents theoretically kaleidoscopic views on notions of childhood and schooling from brilliant scholars working across the Americas. The book will undoubtedly appeal to those working in childhood studies, cultural studies, curriculum studies, international education, and media studies. * Lesley Bartlett, Professor in Educational Policy Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA * An eye-opening examination of a 1970s Mexican sitcom about the tribulations of an orphan boy and his friends in a low-income housing complex that became the most-watched TV series in Latin America and a shared reference for several generations. The editors' rhizomatic perspective gives the volume a level of intellectual coherence rare in edited books and a limpid analytical framework to explore themes of childhood (complicated by the fact that children were played by adults in the series), schooling, media, social class, Latin American-ness, and transnationalism. The clarity and richness of the analysis makes this a model for multidisciplinary cultural studies in general. * Jose C. Moya, Professor of History and Director of the Institute of Latin American Studies, Columbia University, USA *
