Softcover. Condition: Fine. WEST AUSTRALIANA ABORIGINALÂHe never knew his name, he never knew his mother, he never knew his family, he never knew his people, he never knew his country. Born Alice Springs, 4th January, 1973, murdered Perth, 4th January, 1992 . because he was black.Louis St John Johnson, born Warren Braedon into a Luritja and Arrernte family, was taken from his mother in Alice Springs at just three months old.Despite growing up with the love and care of his adoptive family, Louis was increasingly targeted by school bullies and police for his Aboriginality, and his attempts to find his natural family in Alice Springs were thwarted by bureaucracy. Walking home on his nineteenth birthday, Louis was brutally murdered by a group of white youths âbecause he was blackâ.This story captures the dark heart of racism in modern Australia, and the history, government policies and community attitudes that marked this boy out for a short life.Reviews:Devastating as it is, this book should be mandatory reading in schools.ÂTHE WEST AUSTRALIANHaebich and Micklerâs work is comprehensive, well researched and highly accessible. The decision of the authors to frame the text in their preface as one suitable to the âcontemporary young readerâ should not limit its potential scope for readers of all ages. Louis Johnson was just nineteen when he died in tragic circumstances, his death the result of racially motivated violence and prejudicial medical treatment. It is thus, in this reviewerâs opinion, an incredibly valuable case study of the very real effects of institutionalised racial violence in this country, and an important story to be told.LIMINA: A Journal of Historical and Cultural Studies 97 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : colour illustrations, colour portraits, colour photographs ; 21 cm Revised Edition Includes bibliographical references (pages [93]-97) #050124 Johnson, Louis St John, 1978-1992 Adopted children -- Australia -- Biography Children, Aboriginal Australian -- Biography Aboriginal Australians -- Crimes against -- Western Australia Murder victims -- Western Australia -- Biography Australian Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - He never knew his name, he never knew his mother, he never knew his family, he never knew his people, he never knew his country. Born Alice Springs, 4th January, 1973, murdered Perth, 4th January, 1992.because he was black. [From the epitaph at Alice Springs Cemetery] \*\*\* Warren Braedon, named Louis St. John Johnson by his adoptive parents, was taken from his mother in Alice Springs at just three months old. Told that he had been abandoned, Louis's adoptive parents, Bill and Pauline Johnson raised him in a loving family in Perth. Despite a happy childhood, Louis was increasingly targeted by school bullies and the police for his Aboriginality. As he grew older, his need to meet his natural family prompted visits to Alice Springs with his parents, but they were thwarted by bureaucracy. Louis was planning to return to Alice Springs when, walking home on his 19th birthday, he was brutally murdered by a group of white youths whose admitted motive was 'because he was black.' Originally published in the multi-award-winning and seminal history of the Aboriginal 'Stolen Generations' (Broken Circles by Anna Haebich), the story of Louis Johnson/Warren Braedon captures the dark heart of racism in modern Australia through the tragic story of one boy and his short life. A Boy's Short Life is an in-depth history of Aboriginal discrimination, highlighted through an individual story of injustice, one that raises issues that continue to challenge our society.
