Re: Stolen Generations (Australia)

Having looked up cataloging data, I'll accept "Follow the Rabbit Proof Fence" as fictionalised but I'm really rather... iffy about saying My Place is fiction. It's classified as Biography, it's won prizes as biography, it's studied as biography.

I don't want to be troublesome, I just ... yeah. Sally Morgan's My Place is in NO WAY fictionalised. (Nadia Wheatley's My Place, published the same year, *is* fiction, but has no link to the Stolen Generations.)
