“…'it is rare to find this key factor the focus of debate.'" 25 I would argue that juvenile and youthful mobility is fundamentally central to the narratives and identities of missionary children and their families and that the extant body of scholarship on this is one exception to Jobs' and Pomfret's more general observation of scholarly neglect. 26 Manktelow, in this respect, further notes that the notion of "children flowing across and between cultural boundaries is potently relevant to the lives and experiences of missionary children."…”

“…For these children, as for others more broadly, the new century increasingly provided "opportunities to move both more swiftly and more frequently across borders and over much larger distances," which "inspired a sense that the world was both becoming a smaller place and that it was spinning faster on its axis." 28 Methodologically, this article adopts a microhistorical approach, drawing upon case studies of children from two Presbyterian missionary families: one Scottish (the Marwick family) and the other New Zealand (the Gray family). Missionary sources are not unproblematic; they were produced for specific reasons and audiences and often followed particular conventions or employed a discursive structure common across national boundaries.…”

This essay focuses on early twentieth-century missionary British world missionary children and their families to provide a point of comparison with an existing body of work on nineteenth-century missionary children. Through a case study approach, focusing on two Presbyterian missionary families (Scottish and New Zealand) and using both written and oral sources, it asks how we might usefully historicize their lives. The case studies indicate that early twentieth-century children's historical lives were primarily framed within the religiously defined narratives of the missionary family-albeit narratives that varied depending on geographical, cultural, theological, and temporal contexts or with respect to points of family origin-and that these narratives were articulated differently from children's and parents' perspectives. While family is central to the analysis, the article makes a case for attending to the voices of both children and parents, within broader historiographical and historical contexts.

Globalization brings forth a geographical and thematic expansion of the scope of youth studies beyond the traditional topics of delinquency, studies of generations, and subculture. Youth has emerged as a topic for cosmopolitanism studies with a widespread tendency to use cosmopolitanism as a master narrative that leaves no conceptual room for considering ‘non-cosmopolitan’ on an equal footing. The article questions whether social research should be concerned with identifying the cosmopolitanism of youth or whether it should be concerned with examinations of the glocalization of world’s youth (sub-)cultures. In the article’s last section, I outline a research agenda that focuses upon the relationship between the world’s youth (sub-)cultures, on the one hand, and glocalization and trans-localization, on the other. Use of these concepts offers important insights into the youth's cultural practices and is an alternative to the master narrative of cosmopolitanization.
