Releasing the Energy: Celebrating the Inspiration of Sharon Stephens.

Ennew, Judith; Morrow, Virginia

Childhood: A Global Journal of Child Research, v9 n1 p5-17 Feb 2002

Discusses the influence of Sharon Stephens' anthropological work on child welfare and children's rights, and how Stephens' essentially moral approach led her to insist that policy consequences of various constructions are real outcomes experienced in everyday life. Considers effects of colonial globalization on childhood, developing constructs of children's rights, children's participation in society, and the role of nationalism. (JPB)
