A critique of current childcare systems, advocating for a transformative shift towards universal, publicly supported early childhood education and parenting leave. Written by two leading experts in early childhood education, Early Childhood in the Anglosphere offers a unique comparison of early childhood education and care services and parenting leave across seven high-income Anglophone countries. Peter Moss and Linda Mitchell explore what these systems have in common, including the dominance of childcare services, widespread privatization and marketization, and weak parenting leave. They highlight the substantial failings of these systems and the causes and consequences of these failings. But this book is ultimately about hope, about how these failings might be made good through major changes. In other words, it is about transformation: Why transformation is both necessary and possible at this particular time? What transformation might look like? And how it might happen? Part of that transformation concerns the need for new policies and structures. Furthermore, it is about how the Anglosphere thinks about early childhood. The authors call for a turn away from speaking of early childhood services as "childcare," conceptualizing it in terms of business and marketized commodities. Instead, they should be envisaged as a public good with universal access for children, supported by well-paid, individual entitlements to parenting leave. Using examples from the Anglosphere and beyond, the book argues that a transformation of thinking, policies, and structures is desirable and doable.

This unique comparison of early childhood education and care services, and parenting leave, across seven high-income Anglophone countries reveals widespread failings, both in systems and the thinking behind them. The book plots a path towards a transformed early childhood system - public, universal, education-based and meeting many needs.

The first English-language collection of critical essays by Gianni Celati, one of Italy's most important contemporary authors. Selected Essays and Dialogues is a collection of translations of Italian essayist Gianni Celati's theoretical and musing work from the late 1960s to the present.

The book provides a framework of key literary, theoretical, and artistic movements of the past fifty years, as well as a guide for English-language readers to place Celati's work in historical, cultural, and biographical contexts. Celati's fondness for the unexpected ordinary tempts readers to wander and become lost in the webs of his daring thoughts. Indeed, a genial adventurousness can be found within all of his writings collected here, driven by an affectionate and light-hearted engagement with the surrounding world. This collection offers a taste of his adventures of the mind and body, led by a lithe sensitivity not restricted to the so-called high arts or letters, but also very much engaged with the everyday lives, places, and tales we all constantly share.
