Hallo!
Ich habe vor einiger Zeit ein sehr interessantes Buch gelesen, das sich mit der Problematik der Einwandersungspolitik der Engländer nach Australien befasst.
Hier erstmal die Kurzbeschreibung über den Inhalt:
Book Description
In 1986 Margaret Humphreys, a Nottingham social worker, investigated the case of a woman who claimed that, at the age of four, she had been put on a boat to Australia by the British government. Margaret Humphreys soon discovered that as many as 150,000 children had in fact been deported from children's homes in Britian and shipped off to a "new life" in distant parts of the Empire—the last as recently as 1967. For numerous children it was to be a life of horrendous physical and sexual abuse in institutions in Western Australia and elsewhere. Margaret Humphreys reveals how she gradually unravelled this shocking secret, how she became drawn into the lives of some of these innocent and unwilling exiles, and how it became her mission to reunite them with their families.
Ich fand es erschreckend wie damals vorgegangen wurde, um zu "gewährleisten, dass es ein weißes Australien" wird.
Hat jemand von Euch auch das Buch gelesen, oder kennt Ihr jemanden, der so "eingewandert" ist?
