This book examines their lives through the related lenses of parental, institutional and child narratives. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo do so it draws on histories of childhood and of emotions, using a range of sources including oral history. It argues that missionary children were doubly shaped by parents' concerns and institutional policy responses. At the same time children saw their own lives as both 'ordinary' and 'complicated'. Literary representations boosted adult narratives. Empire provided a complex space in which these children navigated their way between the expectations of two, if not three, different cultures. The focus is on a range of settings and on the early twentieth century. Therefore, the book offers a complex and comparative picture of missionary children's lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920516071582,"sku":"ING-9781526156785","price":194.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526156785.jpg?v=1782822709","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526156785","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
