- Summary:
-
"The first essay in the 'Quartely Essay' series, is an attempt to come to terms with the fact that a group of right-wing commentators (centred in the first instance around Manne's old magazine 'Quadrant' under the editorship of Paddy McGuinness) has effectively railroaded national awareness of how large numbers of Aboriginal children were separated from their families in the period between 1910 and 1970."--Intro. A brilliant polemical essay which doubles as a succinct history of how the Aborigines were mistreated and an exposure of the ignorance of those who want to deny that history.
