It uses a methodological combination of literary analysis, history and anthropology to draw out the distinctive cultural heritages held in palimpsest within texts.

Most members of the Stolen Generations had white fathers or grandfathers. Who were these white men? This book analyses the stories of white fathers, men who were positioned as key players in the plans to assimilate Aboriginal people by "breeding out the colour" . The policy was an cruel failure. It conflated skin colour with culture and assumed that Aboriginal women and their children would acquiesce to produce "future whites". It also assumed that white men would comply as ready appendages, administering "whiteness" through marriage or white sperm. This book attempts to put textual flesh on the bodies of these white fathers, and in doing so, builds on and complicates the view of white fathers in this history, and the histories of whiteness to which they are bio-politically related.

Written specifically to maximise understanding of an extremely complex issue, this book examines the reasons why the policy of assimilation and the removal of Aboriginal children was introduced and maintained for so long. It reveals some of the long term effects of the policy and shows why the stolen generations are still a part. In 1937, the Australian government adopted an official policy of removing Aboriginal children from their families, a policy that envisaged the ultimate disappearance of the Aboriginal race. Although this policy was replaced after WWII with assimilation, much of the underlying purpose remained.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been protecting country since time immemorial. One way they have continued these traditions in recent times is through service in the Australian military, both overseas and within Australia. In Defence of Country presents a selection of life stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ex-servicemen and women who served in the Australian Army, Navy and Air Force after World War Two. In their own words, participants discuss a range of issues including why they joined up; racial discrimination; the Stolen Generations; leadership; discipline; family; war and peace; education and skills development; community advocacy; and their hopes for the future of Indigenous Australia. Individually and collectively, the life stories in this book highlight the many contributions that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander servicemen and women have made, and continue to make, in defence of country.
