From Library Journal
Hawes is coauthor, with N. Ray Hiner, of American Childhood: A Research Guide and Historical Handbook (Greenwood, 1985), a reference guide to literature on the history of American childhood. Here, he presents a succinct overview of the "many disparate social actions" that might pass as a children's rights "movement." Hawes begins his narrative with the "stubborn child" law (1641); he continues through (among other significant happenings) the founding of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (1875), the creation of the U.S. Children's Bureau (1912), the establishment of the Children's Defense League (1973), and the ACLU's stance on behalf of child welfare victims in 1990. Hawes includes a chronology of significant events and an excellent eight-page bibliographic essay. This would be a good addition to academic and general collections. Recommended.
