Hodge is a collection of narratives aimed at educating young readers about the diverse and often harsh realities faced by children living across the South American continent. Written in the early 20th century, the book seeks to shed light on the various cultures, struggles, and societal issues prevalent among different tribes and communities, as well as highlighting the missionary work aimed at improving their lives. The central focus is on the childhood experiences of these young inhabitants and the broader social context surrounding them. At the start of the text, Hodge introduces South America, emphasizing its vastness and the cultural diversity within the continent. The opening chapter serves as an overview, discussing the countries, geography, and the historical backdrop of indigenous peoples, especially the adverse impacts of colonization on their lives. The author mentions families of the Inca and other tribes, touching on themes of exploitation, poverty, and spiritual darkness while advocating for knowledge and light to replace ignorance and suffering. The tone is both informative and empathetic, setting the stage for deeper explorations of the lives of children from various South American communities in the subsequent chapters.
