Esta obra trata de presentar de forma sistematizada, recurriendo a un criterio cronológico, las principales etapas históricas por las que ha transitado la categoría sociojurídica Infancia a lo largo del devenir de los tiempos, para facilitar con ello un acercamiento paulatino a la moderna noción que tal concepto ha ido adquiriendo en los actuales sistemas normativos, tras la aprobación y ulterior entrada en vigor de la "Convención sobre los Derechos del Niño". Efectivamente, la moderna configuración de la persona menor de edad como ciudadano de presente, verdadero agente activo del tráfico jurídico, partícipe directo de la realidad social y las relaciones que le envuelven, y no una mera entelequia o proyecto de futuro del adulto que podrá ser, ha dejado atrás decenas de siglos en los que la niñez no era digna, ni tan siquiera, de ser tomada en consideración.

"At no other point in human history have the definitions of "woman" and "man," "male" and "female," "masculine" and "feminine," been more contentious than now. This book advances a pragmatic approach to the act of defining that acknowledges the important ethical dimensions of our definitional practices. Increased transgender rights and visibility has been met with increased opposition, controversy, and even violence. Who should have the power to define the meanings of sex and gender? What values and interests are advanced by competing definitions? Should an all-boys' college or high school allow transgender boys to apply? Should transgender women be allowed to use the women's bathroom? How has growing recognition of intersex conditions challenged our definitions of sex/gender? In this timely intervention, Edward Schiappa examines the key sites of debate and including schools, bathrooms, the military, sports, prisons, and feminism, drawing attention to the political, practical, and ethical dimensions of the act of defining itself. This is an important text for students and scholars in gender studies, philosophy, communication, and sociology"-- Provided by publisher.

"The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities" represents the culmination of years of advocacy by the disability community in their struggle for recognition of their rights. "See Me, Hear Me" is the first book to look at how this Convention can be used to support disabled children, alongside the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. This guide's analysis of the inter-relationship of the two Conventions, together with practical guidance on advocacy strategies and illustrations of good practice, make it an invaluable tool for child and disability rights advocates. It is also an essential resource for governments in interpreting and implementing the two Conventions. "See Me, Hear Me" includes: a detailed table giving an overview of the relationship between individual articles of the two Conventions; close analysis of the rights of children with disabilities - as set out in the two Conventions - in key areas like education, family life, health, and protection; tips for advocacy work in each of these areas of children's rights; a historical overview of disability rights and the development of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability; and, the full text of the "UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities".
