Reviews

The Government of Childhood: Discourse, Power and Subjectivity details how power has historically been exercised over youth and how children's ability to employ agency has evolved from the early modern period to the present. ... The Government of Childhood is a significant contribution to childhood and youth studies. Additionally, Smith's engagement with a number of theorists, including Michel, Foucault, Nikolas Rose, and Chris Jenks, results in rigorous discussions and critiques of these theorists, making the book a thought-provoking read. (Julia M. Gossard, The Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth, Vol. 9 (1), Winter, 2016)
