Softcover. Zustand: Very Good +. WEST AUSTRALIANA ABORIGINAL -"I don't believe it's possible to hurt another person without hurting oneself, an invisible hurt, a tear in the soul that allows the essence of one's humanity to leak out, like bleeding from a cut. Awareness of the loss might come infrequently or only in the dead of n…ight or when staring at the bottom of a beer glass. But it almost always comes. A collective group can't hurt another collective group either without hurting itself. And I belong to a collective group that has hurt. A foreigner's criticism provides the impetus for Amanda Webster to embark on a long-intended search for two former school friends - Aboriginal kids from the Kurrawang Mission near where she grew up in Kalgoorlie. As a child, Webster supposed Mission kids were well-cared for orphans, however growing awareness forced her to think otherwise. Over the years her questions accumulated: were her friends members of the Stolen Generations? What was life at Kurrawang really like? What are her responsibilities as a non-Indigenous Australian whose family's privilege was built on stolen land? For an institution that existed for over two decades, Webster finds that Kurrawang was strangely undocumented. Nor can she find any trace of her former friends, including a young Aboriginal girl who went on a beach holiday with Amanda's family. Then in 2012, Webster meets Gregory Ugle, an older brother of her former friend Tony. After a four-decade absence, Webster returns to her hometown with Ugle to reconnect with her former friends, and to piece together Kurrawang's story through oral histories and local newspaper archives. Over several trips, a sometimes uneasy tension emerges with Ugle as both he and Webster inch towards a fragile reconciliation. The heartfelt story of a woman's fierce determination to bear witness to the wrongs inflicted upon her childhood friends, purely because of their skin colour. With searingly honest self-reflection, Webster pieces together stories of families and lives brutally ripped apart." 330 pages ; 21 cm #160425 Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An honest and deeply personal story of how a privileged white woman deals with the realisationthat the children she grew up with were part of the Stolen Generation.Born into privilege and wealth in 1959, Amanda Webster is a sixth-generation Australian descended from white settlers and a third…-generation resident of Kalgoorlie. When she turned five Amanda startedschool at Kalgoorlie where she met and befriended Aboriginal children from the nearby KurrawangMission, established in 1952 with the help of the Department of Native Affairs by Brethrenmissionaries. At that time the affairs of Aboriginal people were controlled by the Chief Protector, noneother than Webster's very own grandfather.Forty years later, Webster returns to her hometown to reconnect with her former friends, and to piecetogether Kurrawang's story. Webster confronts her racist blunders, her cultural ignorance and her family'ssecret past, beginning a journey of reconciliation that will take her well outside her comfort zone and into a world she hardly knew existed.A Tear in the Soul is a frank, beautifully written account of Webster's personal journey towards the realisation that she, like generations of Australians, grew up with a distorted and idealised version of the past. This book, shattering many of the myths about modern Australia's history, will shock, move and anger yet give a sense of hope for the future.
