Through deep ethnographic studies, the authors build a clear account of children's experiences at a variety of ages, different genders, and from differing ethnic and social backgrounds. Ultimately they show that even though Danish welfare institutions are marked by a strong egalitarian ideal, they nonetheless tend to reproduce dominant norms of social class and distinctions of ethnicity and religion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pluto Press (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45034600595607,"sku":"9780745336046","price":2929.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780745336046.webp?v=1769210825","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/children-of-the-welfare-state-civilising-practices-in-schools-childcare-and-families-9780745336046","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
