Abstract
This article examines the practice of child removal and colonial subjugation in Australia, Canada, French Indochina, and the United States from 1870 to the 1950s. It discusses specific cases of child removal, such as the separation of mixed-race children from their mothers in Indochina and the removal of Aboriginal children in Australia. The article argues that child removal was a common strategy used by colonial governments to control colonial subjects and maintain social order. It also explores the influence of global social movements and the exchange of ideas between colonial administrations. The article emphasizes the importance of comparative and collaborative research in understanding the global nature of child removal as a tool of colonial rule. [Extracted from the article]
