Beschreibung:
Helen May is Professor of Education at the University of Otago College of Education, Dunedin, New Zealand; Baljit Kaur is an independent scholar based in Ottawa, Canada; and Larry Prochner is Professor of Elementary Education at the University of Alberta, Canada.
Examining the experiences of very young 'native' children in three British colonies, the authors focus on the shared as well as unique aspects of the colonial experience in infant schools across the northern part of the North Island of New Zealand, Upper Canada, and British-controlled India. Informed by archival research, Empire, Education, and Indigenous Childhoods illuminates both the pervasiveness of missionary education and the diverse contexts in which its attendant ideals were applied.
