ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIANA –
Out of print and now SCARCE.
Argues that the removal of children from their parents was not genocide as stated in the Bringing Them Home Report, and that the term ‘Stolen Generations’ is unwarranted
“The stolen generations 1881-2008, in volume three, the author disproves the now widely accepted story that in the twentieth century up to one in three Aboriginal children were ‘forcibly’ removed from their parents in order to put an end to Aboriginality. In reality, the small numbers of Aboriginal child removals were almost all based on the same child welfare policies that applied to white children. They were neither racist nor genocidal. There were no ‘Stolen Generations’.”
