Rezension

"This wide-ranging interdisciplinary collection breaks new ground both geographically and methodologically. Its chapters present important new research on youth organizations, mobility, sexuality, public space, war, health, education, and more this is a must-read for historians of childhood and youth, imperialism, and the British world." - Kristine Alexander, The University of Lethbridge, Canada

"This book expands knowledge by bridging between the fields of colonial and imperial history, and the history of childhood and youth. With contributions from some of the leading authorities now writing, this fascinating collection of essays covers a range of historical settings across the 'British world'. Its contributors grapple productively with the challenge of analyzing the patterns and processes through which children's lives were represented, and the ideological work performed by childhood. The collection builds upon an important, new research agenda by demonstrating the significance of histories of children and childhood to histories of the British Empire." David Pomfret, University of Hong Kong
