1 Outcast Half-Caste Micko Donovan (composer), Mary Kathleen Duroux (composer), 2017 single work lyric/song
— Appears in: Songs Back Home 2017; 'This song was written by Micko Donovan and Mary Deroux of northern New south Wales about growing up half-caste, a now derogatory term, used to describe Indigenous people of mixed heritage. The term was one of many devised in the policy to assimilate or ‘breed out’ Aborigines, and part of the misinformed theories of the ‘survival of the fittest’ that were deployed to result in Aboriginal extinction. Micko was raised on a mission and learned to play music from the local missionaries.' (Mission Songs Project)
