Produktbeschreibung
Dr Ingelbrecht s book consists of a play, a short story and an exegesis that critically explore shame, apology and forgiveness in the context of national commemoration, the Stolen Generations and Kevin Rudd s apology speech. Particular emphasis is focused on the views of mixed heritage families of Aboriginal-Afghan-Anglo cultural descent. Her play Sorry explores how collective memory of the past, including traumatic memory of being taken from one s family, affects the present in complex and surprising ways. Her exegesis, Shame and Apology in the Nation-State: Reflections and Remembrance explores the importance of national commemoration, such as ANZAC Day, in promoting national collective memory, and concludes that a collective annual commemoration on behalf of the nation s stolen people would be a more compelling reconciliatory act than a single apology by a particular prime minister.
