Representing Aboriginal Childhood

Exploring the representation of Aboriginal children across various media, this book delves into how these figures reflect and challenge Australia's colonial past and its post-colonial aspirations. It examines literature, film, government discourse, and news, highlighting the ambivalence Australians feel towards their nation's origins and the implications for its future. Through this investigation, the book aims to shed light on the complexities of cultural identity and the ongoing impact of colonialism in contemporary Australia.
