Description: Children, politics and communication questions many of the conventional ways in which children are perceived. It is about how they communicate and engage, how they organise themselves and their lives, and how they deal with conflict in their relationships and the world around them.
Brief description: Nigel Thomas is Professor of Childhood and Youth Research at the University of Central Lancashire and co-director of The Centre, which promotes and researches children's and young people's participation, inclusion and empowerment.
Review Quotes: "Focusing on children who live at the margins of society, this book presents strong arguments for taking their knowledge, experience and wishes seriously as contributions to social and political decision making, and for creating spaces for children's autonomy." Professor Berry Mayall, Institute of Education, University of London
