description
  • xiv, 354 p., [8] p. of plates : 25 cm "Some 80,000 British children - many of them under the age of ten - were shipped from Britain to Canada by Poor Law authorities and voluntary bodies during the 50 years following Confederation in 1867. How did this come about? What were the motives and methods of the people involved in both countries? Why did it come to an end? What effects did it have on the children involved and what eventually became of them? These are the questions Roy Parker explores in a meticulously researched work that brings together economic, political, social, medical, legal, administrative and religious aspects of the story in Britain and Canada. He concludes with a review of evidence from more recent survivors of child migration, discussing the lifelong effects of their experiences with the help of modern psychological insights." "His book will capture and hold the interest of many: the academic, the practitioner and the general reader, and they will include the relatives and descendants, both in Britain and Canada, of the children around whom this study revolves."--Jacket Includes bibliographical references and index
