Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. xiii, [1], 177, [1] pages. Illustrations. Further Information. Bibliography. Index. This work includes "My Life in a Nutshell" by Dorothy Chernikov. Philip Thomas Bean (born 24 September 1936) is Emeritus Professor of Criminology at Loughborough University, former President of the British Society of Criminology (1996-99) and an authority and author on the impact on society of drugs, mental illness and crime having published 62 works that are held in approximately 6, 000 libraries around the world. In addition to his university posts, Bean has conducted research for the United Nations, the European Commission and, in the United Kingdom, Mencap and the Home Office. Around 130, 000 children some just 3 or 4 years old, were shipped off to distant parts of the Empire, the last as recently as 1967. for Britain, it was a cheap way of emptying childrens homes and populating the colonies with 'good British stock', for the colonies it was a source of cheap labor. This is a useful guide to the mixed motives behind child migration-'this inhuman chapter in British history'. It provides moving accounts of the lives of former child migrants in different countries and includes many photographs and vivid oral history. 'Lost Children of the Empire' takes its name from the television documentary, screened in Britain, Australia and other major centers of child migration. This, in turn, inspired the award-winning ABC/BBC television mini-series 'The Leaving of Liverpool'.
