Summer Semicolonies for Children as a Form of Rest for City Dwellers [Rev. Joanna Sosnowska, Z dziejów opieki społecznej w Polsce międzywojennej. Półkolonie letnie w Łodzi, Łódź 2018]

Summary/Abstract: The publication From the History of Social Welfare in Interwar Poland. Summer Semicolonies in Łódź combines two perspectives: history and pedagogy. Joanna Sosnowska presents in it the main assumptions of social welfare, including childcare, adopted by the Łódź authorities in the interwar period. She based her research on the source material found, among other places, in the State Archives in Łódź and the Archives of the Department of Ethnology of the Institute of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology of the University of Lodz. On the example of summer semicolonies organized in this city, she discusses the methods of organizing holidays in the city’s parks, sources of their funding, as well as participants and staff. The scholar also addresses some general issues related to the care, upbringing and education of children and teenagers. The book may therefore be of interest to historians of education, educators, sociologists, as well as planners and organizers in the area of childcare.
