‘Colonial Childhoods’ is about the politics of childhood in India between the 1860s and the 1930s. It examines not only the redefinition of the ‘child’ in the cultural and intellectual climate of colonialism, but also the uses of the child, the parent and the family in colonizing and nationalizing projects.
