- This is a sole-authored book of 277 pages in length that presents a novel and critical argument on the emergence and implications of moralities around young children in consumer culture. It draws on a sophisticated mixed methods analysis with input from ethnographic research, qualitative interviews with new parents and textual analysis of commercial literatures going back to 2006. The book’s argument is developed over 10 chapters. Chapter 6 presents a developed argument that draws on the journal article: Martens, L. (2014) Selling Infant Safety: Entanglements of Childhood preciousness, vulnerability and unpredictability. Young Consumers. Vol. 15 (3): 239 - 250.
