Author's abstract : In presenting an autobiographical account of her own and her family's life experience, Sally Morgan exposes the Aborigines' post-contact history - hitherto obliterated, 'overwritten', as all colonised peoples' histories are, by the official, historical accounts of the colonial culture. The quest for her Aboriginal identity further enables Morgan both to un- and re-cover a cultural heritage that had been deliberately obscured by the white 'script' superimposed upon it.
