In this episode of The Philosopher’s Zone, academic Joanne Faulkner discusses with host David Rutledge the connections between the ‘child rescue’ movement in 19th Britain & the forced removal of Aboriginal Australian children from their families.

Dr Barnado’s practice of abducting children – including ‘street arabs’ – and producing before & after photos is included in the discussion.

Also included is the practice of picturing Aboriginal children as without family, without culture in order to remove those children & train them as workers for white families.
