Far from noncombatants whom we seek to protect from the contamination posed by adult knowledge, children form the very basis on which we fight over the nature and values of our society, and over our hopes and fears for the future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Unfortunately, our understanding of childhood and children has not kept pace with their crucial and rapidly changing roles in our culture. Pulling together a range of different thinkers who have rethought the myths of childhood innocence, \u003ci\u003eThe Children's Culture Reader\u003c\/i\u003e develops a profile of children as creative and critical thinkers who shape society even as it shapes them. Representing a range of thinking from history, psychology, anthropology, sociology, economics, women's studies, literature, and media studies, \u003ci\u003eThe Children's Culture Reader\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on issues of parent-child relations, child labor, education, play, and especially the relationship of children to mass media and consumer culture.
