Parenting and the State in Britain and Europe, c. 1870-1950: Raising the Nation

Hester Barron, "Parenting and the State in Britain and Europe, c. 1870-1950: Raising the Nation"
English | ISBN: 3319340832 | 2017 | 302 pages | EPUB | 1396 KB

This innovative collection draws on original research to explore the dynamic interactions between parents, governments and their representatives across a range of European contexts; from democratic Britain and Finland, to Stalinist Russia and Fascist Italy. The authors pay close attention to the various relationships and dynamics between parents and the state, showing that the different parties were defined not solely by coercion or manipulation, but also by collaboration and negotiation. Parents were not passive recipients of government direction: rituals and cultures of parenting could both affirm and undermine state politics. Readers will find this collection crucial to understanding family life and the role of the state during a period when both underwent significant change.
