Abstract
The removal of Aboriginal children from their families was often well-intentioned and acceptable for the times, says the Australian government. Not so, argues Rosalind Kidd, who was given unique access to the Queensland government's Aboriginal Affairs files. There she found an extraordinary wealth of information on Aboriginal families - where they were allowed to live, where they worked, whether they were allowed to marry - and what happened to their children when they were removed to missionary stations and government dormitories. If you've never doubted the 'benign intent' and 'essentially lawful' practice of removal of children, you will when you've read this book.
