Description:
This is a brief history of American childhood and American attitudes towards children from colonial America to the 21st century, from the Puritan view of human nature and the child as “totally depraved” through the 19th century development of the “angel child” to the complicated modern American views regarding children. We will look at children in families, but also children left vulnerable by circumstances and dependent on the state or the kindness of strangers for their protection.
