It was quite the week to be reading this book Black and white were in great conflict in USA and I was reading about blackfella and whitefella in Australia. The aboriginal were called blackfella and treated like slaves. They had no rights even taking mixed children away from their aboriginal mothers as they weren't deemed fit to raise the child [often from rape of Station Owner]. It was written from the perspective of a memoir of a modern day woman artist who just realized she might have aboriginal roots and was trying to find out about them. Her mother and grandmother wouldn't help and were very much against her beginning to write this book. I good read to shake me up about the continuing consequences of colonialism and the prejudice of anyone who isn't us.
