Description
This autobiography explores three generations of indigenous Australian experiences, shedding light on the complex issues within Australia's indigenous culture. Sally Morgan's journey begins with her grandmother's birthplace, sparking a search for information about her family.
As she uncovers her own heritage, Morgan reveals that her family's history has been shrouded in secrecy due to societal stigma. This moving account finally sets free the stories of her mother and grandmother, allowing them to share their own experiences.
A powerful exploration of identity, culture, and belonging, My Place is a significant work of Australian literature that offers a unique perspective on the country's indigenous heritage.
