C'est une histoire extraordinaire de courage et de foi. Il est basé sur les expériences réelles de trois filles qui ont fui la vie répressive de Moore River Native Settlement, suivant le long de la clôture à l'épreuve des lapins vers leur pays d'origine. La politique assimilationniste a considéré que ces filles ont été enlevées à leurs parents et à leur terre afin d'être blanches. N'ayant jamais vu l'océan auparavant, l'expérience des trois filles du transport par bateau vers la colonie était tourmentante. Mais leur tourment ne faisait que commencer. La vie des colonies était insupportable avec ses chaînes et ses cadenas, ses fenêtres barrées, ses lits froids et ses aliments horribles. L'isolement cellulaire était distribué comme punition régulière. Ils n'étaient même pas autorisés à parler leur langue. De tous les voyages réalisés depuis que les Blancs ont mis le pied sur le sol australien, le voyage de 1931 réalisé par ces filles nées de mères aborigènes et de pères blancs nous parle tous.

Ideal for intermediate learners of English looking to improve or practise their English. The book is filled with useful vocabulary that is carefully graded and easy to understand, it also comes with audio, so that you can listen to the story at the same time as reading. Fourteen-year-old Molly and her cousins Daisy and Gracie were mixed-race Aborigines. In 1931 they were taken away from their families and sent to a camp to be trained as good 'white' Australians. They were told to forget their mothers, their language, their home. But Molly would not forget. She and her cousins escaped and walked back to Jigalong, 1,600 kilometres away, following the rabbit-proof fence as their guide across the desert. This is the story of that walk, told by Molly's daughter, Doris. It is also a prize-winning film.
Following an Australian government edict in 1931, black aboriginal children and children of mixed marriages were gathered up and taken to settlements to be institutionally assimilated. In Rabbit-Proof Fence, award-wining author Doris Pilkington traces the story of her mother, Molly, one of three young girls uprooted from their community in Southwestern Australia and taken to the Moore River Native Settlement. There, Molly and her relatives Gracie and Daisy were forbidden to speak their native language, forced to abandon their heritage, and taught to be culturally white. After regular stays in solitary confinement, the three girls planned and executed a daring escape from the grim camp.
