Shows how children in Bangladesh's factories, fields, and schools learn, resist, and make their voices heard in hazardous conditions.

Children's Ways of Knowing offers an unprecedented look into the lives of children working in factories and fields and going to school in Bangladesh. Naheed Natasha Mansur uses an innovative video-cued ethnographic approach that enables children to revisit and reflect on filmed moments, positioning them as coproducers of knowledge and authorities on their everyday experiences of labor, education, and survival. Blending vivid storytelling with rigorous analysis, Mansur reveals the subtle forms of resistance children employ and the ways their knowledge challenges dominant assumptions about childhood, work, and development. Avowedly decolonial and comparative in juxtaposing rural and urban settings, Children's Ways of Knowing critiques global and local structures that marginalize young laborers while highlighting their agency and creativity. Essential reading for scholars of anthropology, education, labor studies, and South Asia, the book also speaks to policymakers and activists by insisting on the need to center and listen to children's voices.
