During a moral panic about delinquent boys, Robbins did not seek to rehabilitate and\/or punish wayward youths. Instead, the boys governed themselves, democratically and with compassion for one another, and lived by their mantra \"So long as there are boys in trouble, we too are in trouble.\" For nearly thirty years, Robbins was their \"supervisor,\" and the will he drafted in the late 1950s suggests that he continued to care about forgotten boys, even as the political and legal contexts that shaped children's lives changed dramatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNobody's Boy and His Pals\u003c\/em\u003e is a lively investigation that challenges our ideas about the history of American childhood and the law. Scouring the archives for traces of the elusive Jack Robbins, Hendrik Hartog examines the legal histories of Progressive reform, childhood, criminality, repression, and free speech. The curiosity of Robbins's story is compounded by the legal challenges to his will, which wound up establishing the extent to which last wishes must conform to dominant social values. Filled with persistent mysteries and surprising connections, \u003cem\u003eNobody's Boy and His Pals\u003c\/em\u003e illuminates themes of childhood and adolescence, race and ethnicity, sexuality, wealth and poverty, and civil liberties, across the American Century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855814709484,"sku":"9780226834375","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20572033482268.jpg?v=1759279224"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/hendrik-hartog.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
