AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Examines how Aboriginal women of the 'stolen generation' use white technologies, most notably written narratives, to make known their and their families' experiences. These writings also teach the broader community about traditional Aboriginal ways of life and culture, about Aboriginal history, about the role women played in Aboriginal societies, and about the impact of white policies and government actions on Indigenous people. 'Thus, by writing their stories and discussing it with their family, the larger Aboriginal community, and a white audience, Aboriginal women are reclaiming their past and establishing an identity of their own within white society' (241).
