A Rape of the Soul So Profound The return of the Stolen Generation

A Rape of the Soul So Profound The return of the Stolen Generation

A Rape of the Soul So Profound began when a young researcher accidentally came upon restricted files in an archives collection. What he read overturned all his assumptions about an important part of Aboriginal experience and Australia's past. The book ends in the present 20 years later in the aftermath of the Royal Commission on the Stolen Generations. Along the way Peter Read investigates how good intentions masked policies with inhuman results. He tells the poignant stories of many individuals some of whom were forever broken and some who went on to achieve great things. This is a book about much sorrow and occasional madness about governments who pretended things didn't happen and about the opportunities offered to right a great wrong. | A Rape of the Soul So Profound The return of the Stolen Generation

Greenland’s Stolen Indigenous Children A Personal Testimony

Greenland’s Stolen Indigenous Children A Personal Testimony

In this book author Helene Thiesen recounts her experience of being removed from her family in Greenland as a young Inuk child to be ‘re-educated’ in Denmark and an orphanage in Greenland. The practice of forcible assimilation of Indigenous children into colonial societies through ‘education’ has echoes in North America and Australasia and the painful legacy of these practices remains under-acknowledged. In this poignant book Helene recounts in detail the process of being taken from her family in 1951 aged seven along with twenty-one other children in the attempt to re-make them into ‘model Danish citizens’ in a social ‘experiment’ led by the Danish government and Save the Children Denmark. When the children returned to Greenland a year and a half later they were sent to live in a Danish Red Cross orphanage where they were forbidden to speak their native languages and were compelled to adopt Danish language culture and customs. With a detailed introductory analysis from Dr Stephen James Minton who also provides the translation Helene’s account serves as a compelling and powerful testimony of a devastating colonial experiment. Richly illustrated with forty photos to help to situate the reader this book provides an invaluable case study for researchers and students in the fields of Indigenous Studies Critical Pedagogy and Education Psychology European History and Cultural Studies. | Greenland’s Stolen Indigenous Children A Personal Testimony
