It has been argued that  new stages of childhood are being created and defined by children’s role as  consumers. The concept of ‘tween’, girls aged between 9 and 14, has generated  the greatest debate. While the fantasy world of ‘tween’ offers girls a space  to fashion a young, feminine identity it has been widely argued that the  consumer-media’s messages pressure tween girls to consume and adopt highly  sexualised appearances and behaviours. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe author considers how  the art of consumption for ‘tween’ girls is intrinsically linked with their  desire for independence and belonging, and how their consumption is interwoven  with other important social and cultural influences. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be of  interest to scholars and students in the fields of Childhood and Youth  Studies, Cultural Studies, Feminist andWomen’s Studies and Sociology. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-02-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137551290\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-55130-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 191\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752426565772,"sku":"9781137551290","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137551290.jpg?v=1775917922","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137551290","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
