[PDF] Healing the World?s Children : Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Child Health in the Twentieth Century Cynthia Comacchio, Janet Lynne Golden, George Weisz, (eds.)

In 1990, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child declared that children’s “survival, protection, growth and development in good health and with proper nutrition is the essential foundation of human development.” Drawing from many disciplines – history, anthropology, demography, art history, disability studies, and sociology – and across a broad geography, Healing the World’s Children sheds light on the medical, political, and cultural dimensions of the efforts to preserve and protect the lives of our most vulnerable citizens.
