LONG YARN SHORT: 我们仍然在这里。

Vanessa Turnbull-Roberts | 2024 | ISBN: 0702268682 | English | 186 pages | ePUB | 2 MB

At just ten years old, Vanessa Turnbull-Roberts was forcibly removed – stolen – from her family, community and kinship systems. After eight years in various out-of-home care placements, Vanessa fled the system, reconnected with kin and returned to country for the very first time. Only then did she begin to heal.In this book, Vanessa embarks on an extraordinary work of truth-telling, exposing the ongoing violence visited on Black children, their families and their communities by the systems that claim to protect them. As a survivor of out-of-home care, a practising lawyer fighting for the freedom of others and now also a mother herself, she takes an unflinching look at the heartache and trauma caused by racist family policing, the shameful rates of child removals and the steady pipeline of First Nations children into the criminal justice system.Long Yarn Short is a story of struggle, grief and love, a call to action from one of the most powerful voices of her generation. As a leading expert in children and young people's rights, Vanessa invites readers to imagine solutions for a better world – a world of support and empowerment, not punishment – and demands that they listen when she says, ‘ We are still here.'


十岁那年,Vanessa Turnbull-Roberts 就被强行带走——被偷走了——从家人、社区和亲属体系中。在各种寄养安置机构度过八年后,Vanessa 冲破了系统,并重新与亲属联系,首次回到了家乡。只有那时,她才开始治愈。在这本书里,Vanessa 开始了一段非凡的揭示真相之旅,揭露那些声称要保护黑人儿童及其家庭和社区的系统所犯下的持续暴力行为。作为来自寄养机构的幸存者、为他人争取自由的执业律师,现在也是一位母亲,她直面因种族主义的家庭警察制度造成的心痛与创伤、低得令人羞耻的孩童收容率以及土著儿童流入刑事司法系统的稳定管道。《长线短歌》是一部讲述挣扎、哀伤与爱的故事,出自最强大一代声音之一。作为一名儿童和青少年权利领域的领军人物,Vanessa 邀请读者想象为一个更好的世界——一个支持和赋能而非惩罚的世界——的解决方案,并要求他们在她说道“我们还在”时给予倾听。”
