This book frames the Church of England's missionary outreach to
Aboriginal people within the reality of frontier violence,
government control, segregation, and neglect. As missionary control
diminished, Aboriginal people responded more overtly and
autonomously. Some regarded "white" Christianity as irrelevant
while others adopted it in culturally satisfying ways. Through the
Australian Board of Missions (ABM), the Church of England sought to
convert Aboriginal people into a Europeanized compliant sub-caste.
The separation of children from their families was the first step.
The book also shows how the ABM found itself increasingly embroiled
in emerging broader social issues and changing government policies,
requiring it to rethink its own policies.
