Made to Matter analyses the stories of the Stolen Generation's white fathers, building on and complicating their role in this history.
Fiona Probyn-Rapsey is a professor in the School of Humanities and Social Inquiry at the University of Wollongong.
‘It is rare to come across studies of important themes in the
context of a national culture, such as the Australian, and think,
why has this not been examined properly before? Fiona
Probyn-Rapsey's Made to Matter. White Fathers, Stolen Generations
represents such a study ... Made to Matter is an important book not
least because it draws attention to an overlooked aspect of
twentieth-century outback contact-zone history.’
*Journal of the European Association for Studies of Australia
(JEASA), Vol.6 No.1, 2015.*
'In openly analysing the 'Great Australian silence' and 'cults of
disremembering' that surround sexual intimacy between white
Australians and Aboriginal people, Made to Matter breaches the
uncomfortable reality of colonial history.'
