She calls on the UnitedStates to again become a leader inhuman rights and children’s rights.Hidden in Plain Sight tells thetragic untold story <strong>of</strong> children’srights in America. It asks whythe United States today, aloneamong nations, rejects the mostuniversally embraced human-rightsdocument in history, the UnitedNations Convention on the Rights <strong>of</strong> the Child. Thisbook is a call to arms for America to again be a leader inhuman rights, and to join the rest <strong>of</strong> the civilized worldin recognizing that the thirst for justice is not for adultsalone.Barbara Bennett Woodhouse explores the meaning <strong>of</strong>children’s rights throughout American history, interweavingthe childhood stories <strong>of</strong> iconic figures such as BenjaminFranklin with those <strong>of</strong> children less known but no lesscourageous, like the heroic youngsters who marched forcivil rights. How did America become a place where twelveyear-oldLionel Tate could be sentenced to life in prisonwithout parole for the 1999 death <strong>of</strong> a young playmate? Inanswering questions like this, Woodhouse challenges thosewho misguidedly believe that America’s children alreadyhave more rights than they need, or that children’s rightspose a threat to parental autonomy or family values. Shereveals why fundamental human rights and principles <strong>of</strong>dignity, equality, privacy, protection, and voice are essentialto a child’s journey into adulthood, and why understandingrights for children leads to a better understanding <strong>of</strong> humanrights for all.Compassionate, wise, and deeply moving, Hiddenin Plain Sight will force an examination <strong>of</strong> our nationalresistance — and moral responsibility — to recognizechildren’s rights. http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8613.html94 UF LAW
