15 Jul 2024

Friendless or Forsaken? is the story of child emigration agencies operating in North West England from 1860 to 1935. The book traces the imperial relationships, transnational economy, religious networks and legal regulation that enabled agents to send children away from their homes and parents, who often lost sight of them forever.
