"For an understanding of the challenges Latin America faces in this endeavour, this book offers an excellent introduction." —Iberoamericana"The Child in Latin America is an excellent resource for anyone with an interest in the development of children. A noteworthy aspect of this volume is that the contributors not only identify problems but also offer suggestions for making changes and improving the plight of children in Latin America...." —Journal of Children & Poverty"This volume … argues convincingly for the need to focus on children as subjects in the Latin American development process and to do so through a multidisciplinary lens. Globalists and neo-liberal economists take note: this balanced and well-researched volume should be on your list of required reading." —Canadian Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies
