The Story of the Bungalow Alice Springs, 1914-1929 : A Decolonised, Creative Non-fictive Treatment with a Focus on the Women and Children
2021
single work
criticism
— Appears in: Lilith , January no. 27 2021; (p. 81-103) 'The Bungalow began as a tin shed built in 1914 in Alice Springs to house Topsy Smith and her children, of mixed Indigenous and European heritage, whose father had recently died. Over the years that followed many more children with Indigenous mothers and European fathers were taken from their families and brought to live at the Bungalow until about 60 children were growing up there and two more sheds were built. Traditional historiographic methods of research and writing have been combined with the techniques of creative non-fiction, with an overarching focus on decolonisation, to foreground women and children in a story that brings the first Bungalow to life.'
