"This is the first book to trace the history of childhood and youth in nineteenth-century
South Africa. This book examines how childhoods changed during South Africa's industrialisation
in the late nineteenth century. Specifically, it considers how the Dutch Reformed
Church--the only organisation to evince any sustained interest in colonial childhood--attempted
to mould, particularly, white childhoods. The book then traces the colonial state's
increasing interest in the education and welfare of white children from the 1870s
onwards, positioning this concern within a wider context of debates over poor whiteism
and an emergent Afrikaner nationalism. Concluding with a discussion of the 1895 Destitute
Children Relief Act, the book suggests that this legislation was the first attempt
in the Cape to define precisely who a white child was, and what should constitute
a white childhood. Changing Childhoods in the Cape Colony opens up the history of
childhood and youth in South African historiography, and contributes new ways of understanding
not only the region's industrialisation, but also histories of ideas around race,
poor whiteism, and domesticity"
