Generazione rubata
Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.
La generazione rubata, o in inglese Stolen generation, è il nome con cui vengono generalmente indicati quei bambini australiani aborigeni e isolani dello stretto di Torres che furono allontanati dalle loro famiglie da parte dei governi federali australiani e missioni religiose ai sensi di alcune norme parlamentari vigenti nei singoli Stati[1][2]. Partendo dal 1869[3], gli allontanamenti forzati continuarono fino al 1969[4][5], anche se in alcuni luoghi proseguirono sino agli anni '70[6].
Ancora oggi sono contestate le reali intenzioni che spinsero i territori australiani all'attuazione di queste norme. Le prove cartacee estrapolate dalle relazioni delle commissioni parlamentari, suggerirono, tra le motivazioni varie: crescita in stato sicuro dei bambini aborigeni per la tutela di una popolazione in continuo e rovinoso declino, che avrebbe provocato la morte di una generazione in caso di contatto con le persone bianche e di colore[7]. I detrattori di questo ragionamento, sostengono che alla base di questo allontanamento di massa ci fu il timore di una mescolanza razziale tra aborigeni e bianchi europei[8], o ancora il desiderio del raggiungimento di una purezza razziale da parte della classe bianca dominante[9].
