They were children. Put on a train in a strange land, they waved
goodbye to a parent as they headed to an educational institution
that, unbeknownst to them, was to become their new home. Separated
from their loving families, they strived to meet the expectations
of the grownups and, in some cases, to rebel against them. Now,
independent women, compassionate mothers, and astute professionals,
they look back on their youth in the 1960's and 1970's to make
sense of why they were sent away, and to give meaning to the
sources that have sustained them over the years. Ex-boarders
themselves, Latham and Ferdows provide vivid and emotionally
embodied narratives of everyday lives of The Boarding School Girls.
This unique collection of stories explores key issues of identity
and lifespan development to seek understanding of the influence of
national, religious and family culture on development within two
conflicting sets of cultural values. Combining unique qualitative
data with illuminating tales of resilience and accomplishment in
what is likely to simultaneously inform and inspire readers with
feelings of joy and sadness, love and hate, abandonment and hope,
but mainly trust and forgiveness. The stories of eleven 'little
rich' Persian girls are a nostalgic reminder of their past
cross-cultural ordeals, a pragmatic perspective on psychological
implications of boarding school education in England, and a
celebration of the possibilities of the future. The Boarding School
Girls is valuable reading for students in cultural, developmental
and educational psychology and the humanities, as well as clinical
psychologists and educators looking at the impact of boarding
school on adolescent development.
