Product Information
Two interesting items: The author's article in New York Archives A letter regarding foundlings in The Riverdale Press In the nineteenth century, foundlings children abandoned by their desperately poor, typically unmarried mothers, usually shortly after birth were commonplace in European society. There were asylums in every major city to house abandoned babies, and writers made them the heroes of their fiction, most notably Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist. In American cities before the Civil War the situation was different, with foundlings relegated to the poorhouse instead of institutions designed specifically for their care. By the eve of the Civil War, New York City in particular had an epidemic of foundlings on its hands due to the rapid and often interlinked phenomena of urban development, population growth, immigration, and mass poverty. Only then did the city's leaders begin to worry about the welfare and future of its abandoned children. In Abandoned, Julie Miller offers a fascinating, frustrating, and often heartbreaking history of a once devastating, now forgotten social problem that wracked America's biggest metropolis, New York City. Filled with anecdotes and personal stories, Miller traces the shift in attitudes toward foundlings from ignorance, apathy, and sometimes pity for the children and their mothers to that of recognition of the problem as a sign of urban moral decline and in need of systematic intervention. Assistance came from public officials and religious reformers who constructed four institutions: the Nursery and Child's Hospital's foundling asylum, the New York Infant Asylum, the New York Foundling Asylum, and the public Infant Hospital, located on Randall's Island in the East River. Ultimately, the foundling asylums were unable to significantly improve children's lives, and by the early twentieth century, three out of the four foundling asylums had closed, as adoption took the place of abandonment and foster care took the place of institutions. Today the word foundling has been largely forgotten. Fortunately, Abandoned rescues its history from obscurity.

Reviews
From Moses to Harry Potter, the stories of abandoned children have always intrigued us, even when we lack humane responses to their situation. In this well-written and insightful book, Miller provides access to the experience of children in the past, as well as the complex world of public and private charities, municipal reformers, clergy, and physicians who interacted with them in nineteenth-century New York City, ("A group of distinguished social scientists tackle some of the central governance challenges produced by the recent economic, political, and social crises. The topics they address--such as the environment, religion, nationalism, war, and the prospects for global governance--are essential to understanding the contemporary world." )-(Arne L. Kalleberg),(author of Good Jobs, Bad Jobs: The Rise of Polarized and Precarious Employment Systems in the Uni), Julie Miller's deeply researched book on foundlings in nineteenth-century New York City fills a long-standing lacunae in the history of dependent children., " Abandoned is a smart, well-written book that makes wonderful use of extensive primary sources and successfully engages the reader." - New York History ,, "Julie Miller's deeply researched book on foundlings in nineteenth-century New York City fills a long-standing lacunae in the history of dependent children." - Journal of American History, "Abandonedis a smart, well-written book that makes wonderful use of extensive primary sources and successfully engages the reader." -New York History, "From Moses to Harry Potter, the stories of abandoned children have always intrigued us, even when we lack humane responses to their situation.

It is, however, an insufficient platform from which to face the challenges of the 21st Century. This excellent book provides a very useful schema with which to consider both the limits of our current institutions and the possible shape of their successors. I recommend it to scholars, policy makers, and anyone worried about the next crisis." )-(Miguel Angel Centeno),(Author of Global Capitalism: A Sociological Approach ), Abandoned is a smart, well-written book that makes wonderful use of extensive primary sources and successfully engages the reader., Meticulously researched, compellingly written, Abandoned is a highly original study of an inexplicably understudied topic: child abandonment in the nineteenth-century American city. This important book provides a powerful corrective to excessively romanticized views of childhood in the past., "From Moses to Harry Potter, the stories of abandoned children have always intrigued us, even when we lack humane responses to their situation.

Among its revelations are: the difficulty of a renewed Keynesian solution because of the gridlock of weak national and transnational institutions with inadequate authority and oversight; the irony that cap-and-trade solutions to environmental issues rely on the same bankers and traders at the core of the financial crisis; and the maneuvers of offshore capitalism in evading state regulation by instant electronic financial transfers under flags of convenience. This work peels back the skin of a rather sinister global beast." )-(Randall Collins),(author of Macro-History: Sociology of the Long Run ), "From Moses to Harry Potter, the stories of abandoned children have always intrigued us, even when we lack humane responses to their situation.
