This book examines their lives through the related lenses of parental, institutional and child narratives. To 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Children, missions, empire and emotions\u003cbr\u003e1          Public representations: missionary children inhabiting literary spaces\u003cbr\u003e2          Parental narratives\u003cbr\u003e3          Institutional narratives\u003cbr\u003e4          Children’s and young people’s narratives: life as ordinary\u003cbr\u003e5          Children’s and young people’s narratives: life as complicated\u003cbr\u003e6          Private navigations: missionary children inhabiting imperial and colonial spaces\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041021067607,"sku":"9781526156785","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526156785.jpg?v=1750948631","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/protestant-missionary-childrens-lives-c-1870-1950-empire-religion-and-emotion-9781526156785","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
