Abstract: This paper explores the impact of colonialism on family structures and memory through an analysis of Larissa Behrendt’s novel Home. The novel is set against the backdrop of postcolonial Australia, and delves into the psychological, emotional, and cultural effects of colonial violence, particularly the forced removal of Aboriginal children and the disruption of familial ties. By examining the experiences of the novel’s characters, this study reveals how colonial policies not only fractured Indigenous family units but also erased and distorted cultural memories. It also emphasizes how storytelling allows characters to reclaim their identities, restore connections to their cultural heritage, and assert agency over their own histories. In doing so, Behrendt highlights the enduring trauma of colonialism while also showcasing the resilience of Indigenous communities in reclaiming their cultural memory and family ties. The paper offers both a poignant critique of colonialism’s lasting effects and a hopeful vision for cultural revitalization through the power of memory and storytelling. The paper also examines how colonialism has affected family structures and memory, with a particular focus on the impact of forced removal policies and their intergenerational consequences. Through a close analysis of Behrendt’s characters and themes, the study will explore how storytelling becomes a tool for both healing and resistance in the face of cultural erasure.
