While power dynamics such as class, gender and race are acknowledged as social constructs, the domination of adults over children is considered natural and therefore escapes our vigilance. The family institution, which is supposed to protect, becomes a place of violence and produces a vulnerability that is ignored. What strategies can we adopt to overcome this forgotten domination? In this book, Tal Piterbraut-Merx denaturalizes and repoliticizes adult authority by approaching adult-child relationships through the lens of power dynamics. He proposes to consider children as a class, dominated by minority status, economic dependence and educational practices, and to remember the children we were, in order to break the silence we maintain over them.
