Many thousands of mixed-race children were born in Australia due to a range of circumstances when more than one million allied troops were stationed here during the Second World War. These children are the embodied challenge to all of the nations involved, to provide the opportunity for a family background for identity and wellbeing. In seeking to understand the circumstances that brought them into the world, some have been able to resume relationships with family in the United States of America. This project will contribute to addressing the unanswered questions of these children by exploring the social contexts and interplays of gender and race in the extremities of wartime.

第二次世界大战期间，一百多万盟军驻扎在澳大利亚，由于各种各样的情况，成千上万的混血儿童出生在澳大利亚。这些儿童是对所有有关国家的具体挑战，为身份和福祉的家庭背景提供机会。为了了解他们来到这个世界的环境，有些人得以恢复与美利坚合众国家人的关系。该项目将通过探索社会背景和性别与种族在战争末期的相互作用，帮助解决这些儿童未回答的问题。
