History
of Childhood and Youth: Selected Recent Articles and Monographs
Luke Springman
In
compiling this list of recently published articles and books,
I searched in the following on-line databases: Ebsco Host: Academic
Search Premier; OCLC: First Search; and Ingenta. I entered several
combinations of keywords (including but not limited to "history,"
youth," and "childhood") and varied the search
using defining features, such as boolean operators and form-defined
search fields. I further limited the search to publications after
the year 2000. These searches returned listings from several hundred
to around two thousand entrees. The majority of entrees dealt
with contemporary social, psychological and educational issues
in the United States, rather than with scholarship more germane
to the historical study of childhood and youth. Arriving at a
listing related specifically to the history of young people therefore
required interpretation of many titles, or reading abstracts where
those were available. The principle of organization below depends
primarily on geography, except where the titles of articles and
books suggest a larger area of topical research.
This
bibliography makes no pretense of covering all the important recent
scholarship. I hope that readers will submit references for inclusion
in subsequent issues of the newsletter, and I apologize to those
whose publications I missed.
