The Age of Mass Child Removal in Spain analyses the ideas and
practices that underpinned the age of mass child removal. This era
emerged from growing criticisms across the world of 'dangerous'
parents and the developing belief in the nineteenth century that
the state could provide superior guardianship to 'unfit' parents.
In the late nineteenth century, the juvenile-court movement led the
way in forging a new and more efficient system of child removal
that severely curtailed the previously highly protected sovereignty
of guardians deemed dangerous. This transnational movement rapidly
established courts across the world and used them to train the
personnel and create the systems that frequently lay behind mass
child removal. Spaniards formed a significant part of this
transnational movement and the country's juvenile courts became
involved in the three main areas of removal that characterize the
age: the taking of children from poor families, from families
displaced by war, and from political opponents. The study of
Spanish case files reveals much about how the removal process
worked in practice across time and across democratic regimes and
dictatorships. These cases also afford an insight into the rich
array of child-removal practices that lay between the poles of
coercion and victimhood. Accordingly, the study offers a history of
some of most marginalized parents and children and recaptures their
voice, agency, and experience. Peter Anderson also analyses the
removal of tens of thousands of children from General Franco's
political opponents, sometimes referred to as the lost children of
Francoism, through the history and practice of the juvenile courts.
