Description

Explore a significant chapter of British history with Lost Children of the Empire: 1. Part of the Routledge Library Editions: The British Empire series, this book examines the history of child migrants within the British Empire. It covers a period of 350 years involving the movement of approximately 130,000 children to various parts of the Empire. This work details how children, some as young as 3 or 4 years old, were transported to distant locations. The narrative explains how these migrations served as a method for emptying children's homes and providing labor for the colonies. The book tracks these movements from early history through the mid-20th century, noting that shipments continued as recently as 1967. Readers will gain insight into the post-World War II era, specifically looking at the 10,000 children sent to Australia. The text provides a serious look at the experiences of these migrants and the systems that facilitated their transport across the globe. It is an essential read for those interested in British history and the social history of the Empire.
