The Identity of the Stolen Generation Humans naturally seek a sense of belonging and community. Along with this sense of community, personal identity begins to be affected. Community is often found within a country where people share common hopes and dreams while others are outside and are considered different. This “difference” can either make the community stronger or put it at grave risk, and can very likely end with negative consequences. Colonialism was claimed by its superiority as well as by colonists who set out to transform societies considered primitive into what they believed was a more modern society. Destroying one's identity is the main component to conquering a culture because identity is closely linked to a sense of patriotism and power. The desired annihilation of the identity of certain cultures is described, in depth, in the novel Follow The Rabbit Proof Fence by Doris Pilkington. A novel that tells the story of the incarceration of Aboriginal people in Australia in the 1930s.
