Book excerpt: Rethinking Gender and Sexuality in Childhood explores gender and sexuality in children's lives, from early childhood through adolescence, bringing together key inter-disciplinary perspectives. Kane explores how childhood gender and sexuality are constructed, resisted, and refined within children's peer cultures, within social institutions like the family, education, and media and the role the state holds in structuring children's lives - defining their rights and opportunities through gender and sexuality-related policies and programs. Examples of research, interviews, activities, key points and guidance on further reading encourage the reader to actively engage with the material and to develop a critical relationship with the content. Rethinking Gender and Sexuality in Childhood is essential for those studying childhood at undergraduate and graduate level and of great interest to those working with children in any field.

Book excerpt: 'Here be dragons' was the traditional warning used by ancient mapmakers to indicate dangerous, or simply unknown, lands. These were the dwelling places of fantastical beasts, creatures such as dragons, sea serpents, unicorns, griffins and mermaids. Throughout the ages, such beasts have been viewed in complex and contradictory ways because they embody both our fear and our fascination of the unpredictable natural world around us. They appear in the earliest myths and accompany the heroes of medieval romance and folktales. Whether as the symbolic creatures of myth, or as the marvellous beasts of medieval legend and travellers' tales, fantastic animals have always inspired art and literature. Today they feature among the many marvels that populate the alternative worlds of fantasy and the outer reaches of cyberspace. Drawing on sources as diverse as myth, history and folklore, this book explores the ways in which mythical beasts continue to inhabit our fantasies and to define our constantly changing relationship to both real and imagined worlds.

Book excerpt: `This is an important and thought-provoking book. The most useful thing about this book is that it clearly elaborates important theoretical ideas and illustrates how these are relevant to everyday practices in early childhood settings and to the deeply held principles and understanding of practitioners′- Early Education `I recommend this book... as an insight into new possibilities for teaching and thinking. It is rethinking gender education in early childhood education′ - New Childhood `A thought-provoking text which will make practitioners examine their children′s behaviour and play in a fresh light′- Christine Marsh, Manchester Metropolitan University ′A major contribution to the international literature on gender in early childhood .... Glenda MacNaughton has done a terrific job in making difficult theory accessible for teachers and student teachers. Her consistent use of plentiful examples and explorations of how different theories held by teachers might impact on their practice will be tremendously useful to teachers and teacher educators ′ - Debbie Epstein, Centre for Research and Education on Gender, Institute of Education, London `Invaluable for early childhood teachers, for students in teacher training, for teacher educators and for researchers who are wanting to work with teachers′ - Bronwyn Davies, James Cook University, author of Frogs and Snails and Feminist Tales Rethinking Gender in Early Childhood Education reveals how the focus on individual development that is promoted in early childhood education does not produce gender equity. Rather, everyday teaching practices influence the gendering of young children′s identities. Glenda MacNaughton draws on theory and research to explain this and to develop approaches, which open up new possibilities for both boys and girls.
