Prisoner in Paradise

Autor Sally Dudley
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 sep 2017
Many years ago I was startled by a poster on a wall, which said: "White Australia has a black history." That poster jolted me out of my comfortable white view of the world, as I had never been taught to think that way as I grew up in a sheltered white suburbia. Since then I have realised more and more just how "black" that history has been and what consecutive governments have done to conceal the truth in the name of white Australia. This is the story of five generations of an Aboriginal family as they have unwittingly and also knowingly struggled against annihilation. Australia has recently been facing an awakening of race relations in respect to Indigenous people and although we are being called upon to soon vote in a referendum to recognise Aboriginal people in the Constitution, many people remain blissfully ignorant of the true facts. There's an old song about the streets of London which says: "let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London, I'll show you something that will help you change your mind." Please take my hand and come with me on a journey through the streets of our past. I will show you something that will help you change your mind...

Notă biografică

Hi, my name is Sally and I belong to the "baby boomers" generation. My parents met and married after serving in the Australian Imperial Forces (AIF) in World War 2. They built a house in Perth W.A. and had four children, of whom I was the third. My turbulent teenage years finally led to me becoming a Christian when I was 18 years old. I am married to Cedric and we live in Queensland. I don't have any children of my own, but I have always loved children and am honoured today to be called Aunty, Mum and Nanna by many children. I want the very best for all of them. I have also always loved writing and I hope this book is more than just a story to you, as it is to me.
