European settlement of Australia changed life for the indigenous population irrevocably. One of the most drastic and psychologically damaging effects of the European conquest in Australia was the act of forcibly removing indigenous children from their families, ensuing that generations of indigenous children—the Stolen Generations—grew up without knowing their birth parents, culture and heritage. The awareness of this practice, enforced by state and federal law from the late nineteenth century until the 1970s, increased particularly through the publication of several biographical novels in the 1980s and culminated in the 1990s in an inquiry by the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (HREOC) into the separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families. The findings were published in the Bringing Them Home Report in May 1997 and depicted the great violation of human rights committed against Australia’s indigenous population. Thus, it is of great importance to examine the contribution of the literary sphere to the awareness of the situation and the literary reverberations of the forcible removal of children on Indigenous Australian society. Consequently, this presentation will look at biographical writings dealing centrally with experiences of forced removal, mission life and their psychological after effects from a variety of perspectives and will focus on Sally Morgan’s My Place (1987), Ruby Langford’s Don’t Take Your Love to Town (1988), and Doris Pilkington’s Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence (1996).
