Abstract

This article focuses on examining child care practices during the colonial period involving religious organizations. Based on archival sources, the purpose of this study examines the role of religious organizations and institutions in caring for children, particularly those deemed orphaned, impoverished, and neglected. Children in this context became the object of ideological projects of both religious institutions and the colonial government. This study not only highlights child-rearing practices but also reveals the connections between moral values, cultural norms, and colonial power dynamics in the construction of childhood. The method used in this article is historical methods (heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography). The findings of this study reveal that religious-based childcare was not only a manifestation of compassion but also part of a broader colonial power project. Childcare was not limited to humanitarian charity, but was a strategy of soft colonialism integrated into the colonial civilizing mission. Orphanages served as instruments of social control, shaping colonial identities and reinforcing hierarchical social structures. These findings are important because they challenge the singular narrative of "saving children" by highlighting the dynamics of power, cultural norms, and moral values embedded in child care practices during the colonial period.

Abstract

This book by M. Saichrrohman and Wiretno has the original title in Indonesian, namely "Gemeente Kediri: Dinamika Kota Kediri Masa Hindia Belanda Hingga Penjajahan Jepang 1906-1945". The initial manuscript of this book originated from two separate thesis manuscripts written by both authors during their studies in the History Study Program at Airlangga University's Faculty of Cultural Sciences in Surabaya. The two manuscripts examine the city of Kediri with interrelated temporal boundaries, making it easy to publish this work as a cohesive book. This book is the first comprehensive work to discuss the history of the city of Kediri. This book can serve as a starting point for research on the history of the city of Kediri, covering other themes such as politics, economics, and culture.
