The Henrietta, New York, Toys R Us has existed in its current location since the 1980s. The layout of the floorplan remains largely as we remember it when our children were young and full of desires to take possession of many things that were contained within its perimeter. A trip to Toys R Us, with or without one or more of the children in tow, triggered much anxiety. If a child were not present, the store offered precious few winning prizes amid thousands of potential disappointments. Getting through the store with childen felt like crossing a minefield. Much emotion was expended by our family in that store. But that doesn't stop us from feeling a powerful nostalgia when we contemplate the store closing. I am transported back to more than one Christmas Eve pawing through disorganized remnants of the holiday shopping frenzy looking desperately for something to balance the scales and mitigate the inevitable disappointments of the following morning. A few times I succeeded. More often my exhausted decisions ended up making matters worse. Before we left the store today, I asked the cashier whether she knew when it had opened. She said she had no idea, and asked some of her co-workers, who also did not know. I told them it had been there since long before any of them were born. When Toys R Us no longer exists, I wonder how people are going to shop for toys. Perhaps from now on children will simply ask Amazon to bring them whatever toys they want, whenever they want them. We should figure out a way to have Amazon charge it all to their student loan bills. No more parental anxiety!
For over a year, the photographer and journal­ist Gabriele Galimberti visited more than 50 countries and created colorful images of boys and girls in their homes and neighborhoods with their most prized possessions: their toys. From Texas to India, Malawi to China, Iceland, Morocco, and Fiji, Galimberti recorded the spontaneous and natural joy that unites kids despite their diverse backgrounds. Whether the child owns a veritable fleet of miniature cars or a single stuffed monkey, the pride that Galimberti captures is moving, funny, and thought provoking.

In Radical Play Rob Goldberg recovers a little-known history of American children’s culture in the 1960s and 1970s by showing how dolls, guns, action figures, and other toys galvanized and symbolized new visions of social, racial, and gender justice. From a nationwide movement to oppose the sale of war toys during the Vietnam War to the founding of the company Shindana Toys by Black Power movement activists and the efforts of feminist groups to promote and produce nonsexist and racially diverse toys, Goldberg returns readers to a defining moment in the history of childhood when politics, parenting, and purchasing converged. Goldberg traces not only how movement activists brought their progressive politics to the playroom by enlisting toys in the era’s culture wars but also how the children’s culture industry navigated the explosive politics and turmoil of the time in creative and socially conscious ways. Outlining how toys shaped and were shaped by radical visions, Goldberg locates the moment Americans first came to understand the world of toys—from Barbie to G.I. Joe—as much more than child’s play.
