Children in English-Canadian Society Zusammenfassung

Children in English-Canadian Society: Framing the Twentieth-Century Consensus Neil Sutherland

So often a long-awaited book is disappointing. Happily such is not the case with Sutherland's masterpiece. Robert M. Stamp, University of Calgary, in The Canadian Historical Review

Sutherland's work is destined to be a landmark in Canadian history, both as a first in its particular field and as a standard reference text. J. Stewart Hardy, University of Alberta, in Alberta Journal of Educational Research

Such were the reviewers' comments when Neil Sutherland's groundbreaking book was first published. Now reissued in Wilfrid Laurier University Press's new series Studies in Childhood and Family in Canada, with a new introduction by series editor Cynthia Comacchio, this book remains relevant today. In the late nineteenth century a new generation of reformers committed itself to a program of social improvement based on the more effective upbringing of all children. In Children in English-Canadian Society, Neil Sutherland examines, with a keen eye, the growth of the public health movement and its various efforts at improving the health of children.

Children in English-Canadian Society Bewertungen

``Dr. Sutherland vividly conveys the impact of an amazing variety of reforms through a judicious use of case studies and representative illustrations. This pioneering study of attitudes and policies towards children is primarily concerned with the agencies that were created and revised to reflect the attitudes of reformers. Commendably, the author escapes the dryness and tedium that so often characterizes institutional studies.'' -- Judith Fingard, BC Historical News
``Sutherland has undertaken an ambitious project, and from this reviewers perspective, he has been successful in achieving his goal. He has been able to pull together three different reform movements that focused their attention on the reordering of family life. He is adept in his use of examples, be it a disease such as diphtheria, a school such as the Albert Kelso, or cities such as Winnipeg, Hamilton, Toronto, or Vancouver. It should also be pointed out that Sutherland places the Canadian scene in an international perspective, something that is often lacking in American educational studies.'' -- Harvey G. Neufeldt, Educational Studies
