AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Bungalow began as a tin shed built in 1914 in Alice Springs to house Topsy Smith and her children, of mixed Indigenous and European heritage, whose father had recently died. Over the years that followed many more children with Indigenous mothers and European fathers were taken from their families and brought to live at the Bungalow until about 60 children were growing up there and two more sheds were built. Traditional historiographic methods of research and writing have been combined with the techniques of creative non-fiction, with an overarching focus on decolonisation, to foreground women and children in a story that brings the first Bungalow to life.'

Political crises took a foothold in global news and became a clarion call for institutional and societal change, as they demonstrated the inherent and devastating nature of white supremacy, white privilege and the continual impact of colonisation. The COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused the loss of millions of lives worldwide, has exposed systemic problems that have previously been ignored or deliberately obscured. The past year and a half has irrevocably transformed how we experience life and how we understand our place in it. ' (Publication summary)
