Description
Shadow Child: A Memoir of the Stolen Generation
Author: Rosalie Fraser
Soft cover, good condition.
Shadow Child: A Memoir of the Stolen Generation by Rosalie Fraser is a harrowing autobiographical account of an Aboriginal Australian woman forcibly removed from her family at the age of two under government policies targeting Indigenous children. Placed with a foster mother who subjected her to severe physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, Fraser endured years of trauma compounded by the indifference of welfare authorities. Her narrative not only recounts personal suffering but also critiques the systemic failures and cultural dislocation inflicted upon the Stolen Generations. Despite her turbulent youth, including periods of homelessness and legal troubles, Fraser's resilience shines through as she embarks on a journey to reclaim her identity and reconnect with her biological family. The memoir stands as a powerful testament to survival and a poignant reflection on a dark chapter in Australia's history.
