In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, thousands of pupils attended boarding schools in various places across the globe. Their experiences were vastly different, yet they all had in common that they were separated from their families and childhood friends for a period of time in order to sleep, eat, learn and move within the limited spatial sites of the boarding school. This book frames these boarding schools as a global and transcultural phenomenon that is part of larger political and social developments of European imperialism, the Cold War, and independence movements.
