This paper reads Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence by Australian aboriginal writer Doris Pilkington Garimara as a testimonial text. While rewriting colonial history from an aboriginal perspective, Pilkington Garimara’s documentary novel revolves around the homecoming escape of three half-caste girls, Molly, Gracie, Daisy from the governmental supervision to their home in the Outback. This heroic story of the aboriginal mixed-race girls called the stolen generation demonstrates female courage and resistance to white people's civilized violence and deceptive authority. Utilization of ideas and concepts from Jared Diamond and Hannah Arendt assists in understanding aboriginal traumatic experiences and degrading conditions by critiquing white Australian authority. Diamond illustrates the environment of aboriginal society and interrogates white Australians's interpretation of aboriginal lifestyles and behavior as being culturally backward. Likewise, Arendt observes the Holocaust trial of Adolf Eichmann and conceptualizes the 'banality of evil' within practices of degradation. Based on the theories of Diamond and Arendt, this paper defines the common humanitarian white Australians with self-declared eugenic superiority as 'Australian Eichmanns' committing unexceptional crimes against aborigines. A case in point is A. O. Neville who promoted biological absorption and defended the policies of forced settlement. Pilkington Garimara’s life writing on the stolen generations makes possible reconciliation discourse for genuine social integration between future generations and raises global awareness against physical and epistemological violences caused by racial hatred and cultural misunderstanding.
Abstract
This paper reads Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence by Australian aboriginal writer Doris Pilkington Garimara as a testimonial text. While rewriting colonial history from an aboriginal perspective, Pilkington Garimara’s documentary novel revolves around the homecoming escape of three half-caste girls, Molly, Gracie, Daisy from the governmental supervision to their home in the Outback. This heroic story of the aboriginal mixed-race girls called the stolen generation demonstrates female courage and resistance to white people's civilized violence and deceptive authority. Utilization of ideas and concepts from Jared Diamond and Hannah Arendt assists in understanding aboriginal traumatic experiences and degrading conditions by critiquing white Australian authority. Diamond illustrates the environment of aboriginal society and interrogates white Australians's interpretation of aboriginal lifestyles and behavior as being culturally backward. Likewise, Arendt observes the Holocaust trial of Adolf Eichmann and conceptualizes the 'banality of evil' within practices of degradation. Based on the theories of Diamond and Arendt, this paper defines the common humanitarian white Australians with self-declared eugenic superiority as 'Australian Eichmanns' committing unexceptional crimes against aborigines. A case in point is A. O. Neville who promoted biological absorption and defended the policies of forced settlement. Pilkington Garimara’s life writing on the stolen generations makes possible reconciliation discourse for genuine social integration between future generations and raises global awareness against physical and epistemological violences caused by racial hatred and cultural misunderstanding.
