Finding Molly Johnson (Paperback)

Mark G. McGowan

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Irelands Great Famine produced Europes worst refugee crisis of the nineteenth century. More than 1.5 million people left Ireland, many ending up in Canada. Among the most vulnerable were nearly 1,700 orphaned children who now found themselves destitute in an unfamiliar place. The story Canada likes to tell is that these orphans were adopted by benevolent families and that they readily adapted to their new lives, but this happy ending is mostly a myth.In Finding Molly Johnson Mark McGowan traces what happened to these children. In the absence of state support, the Catholic and Protestant churches worked together to become the orphans principal caregivers. The children were gathered, fed, schooled, and placed in family homes in Saint John, Quebec, Montreal, Bytown, Kingston, and Toronto. Yet most were not considered members of their placement families, but rather sources of cheap labour. Many fled their placements, joining thousands of other Irish refugees on the Canadian frontier searching for work, extended family, and the opportunity to begin a new life.Finding Molly Johnson revisits an important chapter of the Irish emigrant experience, revealing that the story of Canadas acceptance of the famine orphans is a product of national myth-making that obscures both the hardship the children endured and the agency they ultimately expressed. In Finding Molly Johnson Mark McGowan seeks to find out what happened to children fleeing famine who were orphaned during the voyage from Ireland to Canada. He discovers that they were not legally adopted, often serving as unpaid labour to host families, thus unlocking an important chapter of the Irish emigrant experience.
