Reviews

'This detailed empirical study of how Danish children are brought up, or 'civilised' - whether within families or public institutions - is a major contribution to our understanding of Scandinavian welfare states, a powerful argument for the role of ethnography in comparative policy debates, and a must-read for anyone interested in childhood' -- Richard Jenkins, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of Sheffield
