Funded Activity Summary

Rottnest Island as Black Prison and White Playground: A case study of the problems and prospects for Reconciliation in Australia. Many Australians are committed to Reconciliation. This project seeks to build on this commitment by finding out why the attempts to establish appropriate commemoration of the deaths of hundreds of Aboriginal and boys in the Rottnest Island Prison up to 1931 have so far been unsuccessful. The project will uncover new ways to advance the cause of Reconciliation and will bring these to public attention in the form of a documentary film. Rottnest Island could continue to be a source of division and shame but it also has the potential to be unlocked as a source of national pride.
