Protestant missionary children were uniquely ‘empire citizens’
through their experiences of living in empire and in religiously
formed contexts. 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. -- .
