Further information:
"The little known or unacknowledged 'other' history of Australia. Existing silent and invisible beneath the glorious and optimistic chords "golden young and free", the forced institutionalisation of hundreds of thousands of children and young women 'at risk' had been a government policy entrenched in Australia since colonial times. Orphanage, Children's Home, Industrial school and Asylum; all equated to prison. It was just the way things were, and as often happened one would lead to the other. One 'closed system' to the next 'Wonderland'. Sue Anderson and Gwen Harrison This book was featured in the exhibition, 'The Politics of Place.' January 19 – March 30, 2019 at the Center for Book Arts, New York, NY.
