Disappointing. I was so interested in this book, but found it very poorly written.
The first 30 pages were confusing because the rabbit-proof fence was referred to several times, but not explained until much later.
Ideas were not developed at all. Rather, factual statements were made and story-like accounts given, but it didn't flow in a logical way.
You would need to know something about the history on which this book is based in order to enjoy this book. It could have been such a good book, but it just wasn't written well. Should have been about 3 times longer with more explanations of what was going on, not just anecdotal details.
