Contents:

Gender and settler colonialism in the North American West and Australia -- Designing indigenous child removal policies -- The great white mother -- The practice of indigenous child removal -- Intimate betrayals -- Groomed to be useful -- Maternalism in the institutions -- Out of the frying pan -- Challenging indigenous child removal.

Summary: In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, indigenous communities in the United States and Australia suffered a common experience at the hands of state authorities: the removal of their children to institutions in the name of assimilating American Indians and protecting Aboriginal people. Although officially characterized as benevolent, these government policies often inflicted great trauma on indigenous families and ultimately served the settler nations' larger goals of consolidating control over indigenous peoples and their lands.
