If you are writing a paper, then Patricia Holland's book 'Picturing Childhood' is a must read. It provides an outline of different tropes in the imagery of children and an historical context to photographing children. You should also keep an eye out for a short paper by Pauline Hadaway for the Manifesto Club on photography bans and restrictions in the United Kingdom (it has not been published online yet, but is due for publication soon, most likely at the end of September, to coincide with this event in London - <a href="http://www.manifestoclub.com/photosalon">http://www.manifestoclub.com/photosalon</a>). It is very good on the contemporary context, including use of the wonderful phrase 'muddled authoritarianism'. On contemporary concerns about children and parenting, which provide a very good context on contemporary attitudes towards children, see Frank Furedi 'Paranoid Parenting' and also check out the website <a href="http://www.spiked-online.com">www.spiked-online.com</a> - Nancy McDermott is a key contributor on parenting debates in the United States.<br>
