Some 80, 000 British children - many of them under the age of ten -were shipped from Britain to Canada by Poor Law authorities andvoluntary bodies during the 50 years following Confederation in 1867.How did this come about? What were the motives and methods of thepeople involved in both countries? Why did it come to an end? Whateffects did it have on the children involved and what eventually becameof them? These are the questions Roy Parker explores in a meticulouslyresearched work that brings together economic, political, social, medical, legal, administrative and religious aspects of the story inBritain and Canada. He concludes with a moving review of evidence frommore recent survivors of child migration, discussing the lifelongeffects of their experiences with the help of modern psychologicalinsights. His book - humane and highly professional - will capture and holdthe interest of many: the academic, the practitioner and the generalreader; and they will include the relatives and descendants, both inBritain and Canada, of the children around whom this studyrevolves. | Uprooted by Roy Parker, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
