The World is at Our Door: Why Historians of Children and Childhood Should Open Up1

Paula Fass's inspiring opening essay, "The World Is at Our Door," invites readers to appreciate the rich array of new fields that an expanded vision of the history of childhood encompasses. Her comprehensive overview of scholars around the world includes disciplines that once seemed remote from the concerns of historians like neurobiology, anthropology, and economics. Fass challenges us look to phenomena like migration and its far-reaching consequences, globalized youth culture shaped by the electronic revolution and a world economy, and diverse models of modernization to grasp the possibilities of a truly global study of children and childhood.—M.S.
