Acknowledgements
Ethnography is an intimately affective and entangled business. In this book, the children were our real teachers: They taught us how to do ethnography intimately—they taught us to listen, observe—they taught us how to un-theorise in order to theorise anew. They taught us phenomenology. We are deeply indebted to all the children and the parents who took part in this ethnographic project. In order to preserve their privacy, all accounts were anonymised, and pseudonyms were used throughout the volume. We thank the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) for funding our three-year project. Without their grant, this endeavour would not have seen the light of day. We also thank the University of Westminster’s Communication and Media Research Institute, the American University of Beirut, the University of Mohammed V (Rabat) for their great
