No Options No Choice! The Moore River experience

by Rosemary Van den Berg

Paperback, 1994

Description

Life story of Thomas Corbett, an Aboriginal half-caste, written by his daughter. Being fathered by a white man, Tom was taken away from his mother and institutionalised at Moore River Native Settlement at the age of six. He was forced to live in an alien culture very different from the tribal ways he had known. His recollection of degradation and hardship is a powerful indictment of the history of race relations in Australia.
