About the Book
The Youngest Citizens explores the evolution of children's rights in Latin America and the significant shifts in discourse and policy over the past 20 years. The book examines the development of the global childhood regime and the ongoing challenges that child advocates face in influencing domestic policy.
Amy Risley highlights the disconnect between the rights granted to children and the real-world experiences they endure, using case studies from countries like Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, and the United States to demonstrate how child rights are often theoretical rather than practical. Issues such as child labor, child soldiers, sexual exploitation, and migrant children are critically analyzed.
The book offers a cautiously optimistic view, emphasizing the increasing recognition of children as rights-bearing individuals, actively involved in decisions that affect them.
This is an essential read for undergraduate and graduate students focused on Latin American studies, human rights, migration, and the role of childhood in society.
