 Broken Circles: Fragmenting Indigenous Families 1800-2000 by Anna Haebich
A moving and comprehensive account of a tragic history, covering all Australian colonies, states and territories. The analysis spans two hundred years of white occupation and intervention, from the earliest seizure of Aboriginal children, through their systematic state removal and incarceration and on to the harsh treatment of families under the assimilation policies of the nineteen fifites and sixties. The resistance struggle and achievements of Aboriginal people in defending their communities, regaining their rights and mending the broken circles of family life provides a compelling parallel story of determination and courage. The book is a winner of major literary awards in Australia.
