Book Synopsis Depicting Canada’s Children by : Loren Lerner
Download or read book Depicting Canada’s Children written by Loren Lerner and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2009-05-20 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depicting Canada’s Children is a critical analysis of the visual representation of Canadian children from the seventeenth century to the present. Recognizing the importance of methodological diversity, these essays discuss understandings of children and childhood derived from depictions across a wide range of media and contexts. But rather than simply examine images in formal settings, the authors take into account the components of the images and the role of image-making in everyday life. The contributors provide a close study of the evolution of the figure of the child and shed light on the defining role children have played in the history of Canada and our assumptions about them. Rather than offer comprehensive historical coverage, this collection is a catalyst for further study through case studies that endorse innovative scholarship. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, Canadian history, visual culture, Canadian studies, and the history of children.

Book excerpt: This book explores the economic, religious, political and personal forces that led to some 80,000 British children being sent to Canada between 1867 and 1915. How did this come about? What were the motives and methods of the people involved? Why did it come to an end? What effects did it have on the children involved and what eventually became of them? These are the questions Roy Parker explores in this meticulously researched work. His book - humane and highly professional - will capture and hold the interest of many: the academic, the practitioner and the general reader.

Download or read book Home Words written by Mavis Reimer and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in Home Words explore the complexity of the idea of home through various theoretical lenses and groupings of texts. One focus of this collection is the relation between the discourses of nation, which often represent the nation as home, and the discourses of home in children’s literature, which variously picture home as a dwelling, family, town or region, psychological comfort, and a place to start from and return to. These essays consider the myriad ways in which discourses of home underwrite both children’s and national literatures. Home Words reconfigures the field of Canadian children’s literature as it is usually represented by setting the study of English- and French-language texts side by side, and by paying sustained attention to the diversity of work by Canadian writers for children, including both Aboriginal peoples and racialized Canadians. It builds on the literary histories, bibliographical essays, and biographical criticism that have dominated the scholarship to date and sets out to determine and establish new directions for the study of Canadian children’s literature.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Canadian parents look back on their own lives and the lives of their parents, they see changes across a generation that have profoundly affected their parenting experience, compared to when they themselves were young children. Supports for today's parents must take into consideration these changes that affect the care and nurturing of children. Over the past two decades, the family environment in which young children have grown up in Canada has changed dramatically. Today, most young women complete their education and begin their careers before they have children. Babies are born into many different types of families--married couples, common-law couples, single parent families, and blended families. Many children--even in the first five years of their lives--will experience a change in their family circumstances as their parents separate or divorce, marry or remarry. Today, most young children have two parents who both hold jobs in the paid workforce because today it more often takes two earners to maintain a desirable family income. Nonetheless, more parents understand the importance of the first five years and, despite today's pressures of balancing work and family, they spend more time with their young children than parents did a decade ago. Today, young children are surrounded by more adults than children were a generation ago, mainly due to the rising importance of caregivers in a child's life. This report visually shows how these changes relate to child development and explain how families have adapted their parenting roles. Findings from current research are used to discuss the implications of the data presented in each respective chart. In the concluding section, policies to support families with young children are described. (Contains 60 footnotes.).

Book Synopsis The Golden Bridge by : Marjorie Kohli
Download or read book The Golden Bridge written by Marjorie Kohli and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2003-10-15 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To thousands of young people, emigration has been the golden bridge by which they have passed from an apparently hopeless childhood to lives of useful service and assured comfort, in this new land." - Mr. G. Bogue Smart, Inspector of British Immigrant Children and Receiving Homes, 1915 Many thousands of Canadians are descended from young immigrants transported to Canada from 1833 to 1939. Author Marjorie Kohli has meticulously documented the incredible story of the removal of thousands of "waifs and strays" and young men and women, primarily from the UK and Ireland. They braved the perilous voyage to an unknown future in Canada, ultimately being placed throughout the Maritimes, Ontario, Quebec and westward as far as British Columbia. The most comprehensive resource of its kind, The Golden Bridge promises to be an indispensable tool for family researchers with a "home child" ancestor, and of interest to those unfamiliar with this aspect of Canadian history. This extensively researched book incorporates background detail on agencies and key organizers such as Maria Rye, Annie Macpherson, Thomas Barnardo and William Quarrier, along with lesser knowns including Ellinor Close and Charles Young. Marjorie Kohli is well known for her years of active involvement with juvenile and child migration issues. Supported by charts, passenger lists and archival visuals, The Golden Bridge is a must-read for genealogists and history buffs alike.
Book Synopsis Children in English-Canadian Society by : Neil Sutherland
Download or read book Children in English-Canadian Society written by Neil Sutherland and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2000-07-12 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sutherland (educational studies, U. of British Columbia, emeritus) examines the growth of the public health movement and its various efforts at improving the health of children. He describes the process by which, in the latter part of the 19th century, English Canadians developed new beliefs about childhood, established two special health services to bring children the benefits of recent medical discoveries, changed their approach to care for neglected or delinquent children, and reformed the education system to meet the needs of industrial society.

Download or read book Child Welfare written by Kathleen Kufeldt and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1994 a group of researchers and decision makers met to discuss the state of child welfare. Also present were a few practitioners and two youth in care. Six years later, when they met again, the number of practitioners and youth had grown considerably and were joined by a strong contingent of foster parents. Thus the findings and insights presented were affirmed or challenged by those most affected -- those on the front line. It was an exciting event, worth capturing in book form. Kathleen Kufeldt and Brad McKenzie have gathered the papers presented at the 2000 Symposium and have organised them under four themes: incidence and characteristics of child maltreatment; the continuum of care; policy and practice; and future directions. An analysis and synthesis of the work informs each of these themes, while an eight-point research agenda developed in an earlier symposium is used to assess developments to date and provide guidance for the future.
