Ring around the Maple : A Sociocultural History of Children and Childhoods in Canada, 19th and 20th Centuries (Studies in Childhood and Family in Canada)

Explores the condition of children in Canada from roughly 1850 to 2000, a time during which 'the modern' increasingly disrupted traditional ways. Cynthia Comacchio and Neil Sutherland trace the lives of children over this 'long century', synthesizing the rich interdisciplinary, often multi-disciplinary, literature that has emerged since the 1970s.
