Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book brilliantly explores the history of Britain's infamous industrial schools, from their inception in the 1840s through to the last closures in the 1990s in the United Kingdom. As part of an industrial school system, young people were sent to these institutions as a way for the British government and religious organizations to tackle what they saw as the problem of juvenile delinquency and poverty. The author methodically unpacks the ethos and misguided ideals that led to tens of thousands of primarily young Irish Catholic children and young people being forcibly detained in these institutions, often against their will and that of their families. Exposing the ways in which these children suffered horrific physical, emotional, and sexual abuse while living in such institutions, the book argues that these schools were actually a form of legalized child abuse. However, it also sheds light on the powerful resistance movement that emerged from within the schools themselves. The author argues that this resistance was not only about the abuse and brutality of the time, but ultimately about the children finding their voices to challenge the oppression and injustice of the adult world. Their defiant actions went on to lead the way for radical social change in Ireland and beyond. This book makes a powerful argument that these industrial schools were inherently violent, cruel, and ultimately served only to perpetuate the problems they had been established to solve. The author demonstrates how the government and religious orders denied any wrongdoing, which allowed this shocking system to continue unabated for far too long. Comprehensive and thoroughly researched, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of child welfare, education policy, or social justice. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
