Sumario:The aim of this dossier is to explore contemporary configurations of childhood from a critical, intersectional, and situated perspective. The authors analyze cases from Asia, Africa, and Latin America; they examine how childhoods are shaped by persistent matrices of colonial power, institutional violence, forced migration, and hegemonic normative systems. Far from conceiving childhood as a homogeneous or universal stage, the authors in this issue propose approaches that make visible the multiple ways in which children experience, resist, and redefine their condition in contexts marked by exclusion, violence, inequality and global crisis.
