Kompletní popis

Paint Me Black tells the remarkable and inspiring life of Claire Henty-Gebert, through times and circumstances beyond the personal experience of most Australians. Claire was born in 1930 near Frew River station, the country of the Kaytetye and Alyawarra Aboriginal people. She was the child of white settler Harry Henty, notoriously callous in his dealings with Aboriginal people, and Ruby, an Alyawarra woman. She was three or four years old, when she was separated from her mother and taken to the Bungalow mission in Alice Springs. She never saw her mother again. In 1941, with the area preparing for war, mission children were removed to various islands. As war intensified, an exodus began, ending months later in Sydney. As an adult, Claire set off on the hardest journey of all: in search of her Aboriginal family. Paint Me Black is told in simple, direct and powerful language.
