Changing Childhoods in the Cape Colony Dutch Reformed Church Evangelicalism and Colonial Childhood, 1860-1895

Description

This book opens up histories of childhood and youth in South African historiography. It looks at how childhoods changed during South Africa's industrialisation, and traces the ways in which institutions, first the Dutch Reformed Church and then the Cape government, attempted to shape white childhood to the future benefit of the colony.
