ABSTRACT
Perhaps even more pointedly, Affrica Taylor and her colleagues highlight contexts of indigenous politics through an analysis of very young children's relations to the non- and more-than-human world. Postchild researchers like Taylor and her colleagues, Rautio and Winston, and Murris deal much more specifically with the multiplicities of relations between children and things. Rights and everyday politics in a post-global world are corporeal and technological, fluid, negotiable and relational, and they are tied to the ways that young people create and recreate spaces of experience, experimentation and power. Liberal ethics have never existed anywhere at any time, nor have they ever been an adequate utopian ideal, although Flax (1993) and other early feminist theorist on rights have argued that if these are all we have, then we must use them well and move forward as best we can on behalf of the best interests of women, children, and other minorities.
