    In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, thousands of pupils attended boarding schools in various places across the globe. Their experiences were vastly different, yet they all had in common that they were separated from their families and childhood friends for a period of time in order to sleep, eat, learn and move within the limited spatial sites of the boarding school. This book frames these ¿boarding schools¿ as a global and transcultural phenomenon that is part of larger political and social developments of European imperialism, the Cold War, and independence movements. Drawing together case studies from colonial South Africa, colonial India, Dutch Indonesia, early twentieth-century Nigeria, Fascist Spain, Ghana, Nazi Germany, nineteenth-century Ireland, North America and the Soviet Union, this edited collection examines the ways in which boarding schools extracted pupils from their original social background in order to train, mold and shape them so that they could fit intothe perceived position in broader society. The book makes the broader argument that framing boarding schools as a global phenomenon is imperative for a deepened understanding of the global and transnational networks that linked people as well as ideas and practices of education and childhood in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

    Dieses Buch bringt interdisziplinäre Wissenschaftler aus den Bereichen Geschichte, Theologie, Volkskunde, Ethnologie und Meteorologie zusammen, um zu untersuchen, wie David Cranz' Historie von Grönland (1765) in verschiedenen Disziplinen, Epochen und Ländern Resonanz fand. Gemeinsam zeigen die Autoren, dass das Buch über seinen ursprünglichen Zweck als Aufzeichnung der Missionsarbeit hinaus in weltliche und politische Bereiche außerhalb Grönlands und Deutschlands hineinwirkte. Die Kapitel zeigen auch, wie das Buch zu breiteren Diskussionen und Konzeptualisierungen von Grönland als Teil der atlantischen Welt beigetragen hat. Der interdisziplinäre Umfang des Bandes ermöglicht eine vielschichtige Lektüre von Cranz' Buch, die zeigt, wie unterschiedliche Bedeutungen aus dem Buch in verschiedenen Kontexten gezogen werden konnten und wie das Buch über Zeit und Raum hinweg Resonanz fand. Außerdem wird das Argument angeführt, dass die Konstruktion der Arktis im achtzehnten Jahrhundertunser Verständnis des Atlantiks erweitert hat.
