( ) Memoir of an Aboriginal Australian woman born in the 30's living in rural and urban environments confronting poverty, domestic violence and tragedy. While My Place prefigures the Stolen Generation report, Don't Take Your Love To Town anticipates the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. You get a glimpse into the upswell of recognising and fostering Aboriginal culture and identity during the '70s and '80s. Ruby Langford was born on Box Ridge Mission, Corali, on the north coast of NSW in 1934. She was raised in Bonalbo and went to high school in Casino where she finished second form. At 15 she moved to Sydney and qualified as a clothing machinist. Her first child was born when she was 17. She has a family of 9 children and raised them mostly by herself. For many years she lived in tin huts and camped in the bush around Coonabarabran. At other times she lived in the Koori areas of Sydney. She worked part time as a sewing teacher at the Aboriginal Medical Service in Redfern. They lived in constant poverty, but the hardship fuelled Ruby Langford’s ambition to do more for her people. She was always sustained by her close links to the Aboriginal families in Redfern, or wherever else she happened to be. [SCIS] sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Ruby Langford Ginibi's remarkable talent for storytelling grabbed the attention of both black and white Australians when she released Don't Take Your Love to Town, which has gone on to become a bestseller and is now a seminal work of Indigenous memoir. Don't Take Your Love to Town is a story of courage in the face of poverty and tragedy. Ruby recounts losing her mother when she was six, growing up in a mission in northern New South Wales and leaving home when she was fifteen. She lived in tin huts and tents in the bush and picked up work on the land while raising nine children virtually single-handedly. Later she struggled to make ends meet in the Koori areas of Sydney. Don't Take Your Love to Town is a brilliant memoir that will open your eyes and heart to an extraordinary woman's story. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
