Children, Poverty and Nationalism in Lithuania, 1900–1940

Autor Andrea Griffante
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 noi 2019
This book discusses the emergence of care for orphaned, abandoned and poor children in Lithuania from the early twentieth century to the beginning of the Second World War. In particular, it focuses on how such practices were influenced by nationalist and political discourses, and how orphanages became privileged institutions for nation building. Emerging during the humanitarian crisis following the First World War, the Lithuanian orphaned and destitute children’s assistance network had an eminently ethno-national character, and existed in parallel with, and was challenged by, Polish poor child assistance institutions.  By analysing such care for children, this book explores concepts such as the nation state and citizenship, as well as the connections between poverty, childhood and nationalism.

Recenzii

“This book is a welcome addition to the history of childhood, nationalism, and charitable organizations. The text is separated into chapters tackling concise eras and offering a fresh comparison with other similar European movements. … this book is an important contribution to the history of childhood and youth in understanding and contextualizing both local and regional differences, but also showing how the rise in influence of political movements can affect the provision of aid to children in need.” (Aisling Shalvey, The Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth, Vol. 16 (3), 2023)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book discusses the emergence of orphaned, abandoned and poor child care in Lithuania from the early 20th century to the beginning of World War II. In particular, it focuses on how poor child care practices were influenced by the nationalist and political discourse, and how orphanages became privileged institutions for nation building. Emerging during World War I and the early postwar humanitarian crisis, the Lithuanian orphaned and destitute children’s assistance network remained managed mainly by private actors. The field remained highly competitive. Until the early 1920s, concurrence had an eminently ethno-national character and the Lithuanian network was challenged by stronger Polish poor child assistance institutions. Nation-building goals did not prevent the emergence of political concurrence within separate ethno-national assistance networks. Even if political concurrence did not stop cooperation within the ethnic community, it did confirm the multiple character of nationalmobilization and consolidation processes in which otherness is by no means only ethnic in content.
