Sally Morgan's My Place, a landmark of Aboriginal literature, has a great meaning in terms of its recovery of the history of Aborigine and engraving its own rightful existence in Australian society, which has been rejected intentionally by whites. In some aspects, however, the narrative of My Place has been treated as just a piece of the past which should be integrated into the formation of Australian national narrative, while the history of violence and abuse to Aboriginal people by whites is being buried into the past. The purpose of this paper is to re-read and to analyze My Place to demonstrate that it is loaded with the discomfiture which could rupture white Australian national narrative. To achieve this aim, this paper critically analyzes Bill Milory and Drake-Brockman, the two white male characters who are deeply involved in the lives of three Aboriginal women characters. Through this analysis, this paper demonstrates Bill's pain was caused by his reminding of racial abuse to Aboriginal people in Australia from the memories of the Holocaust he witnessed at the Nazi's concentration camp during World War II. Also, this paper shows that the silence of Daisy as a victim of white male pioneers ironically makes the existence of Drake-Brockman and his violence and exploitation to her come to the surface of the narrative. In conclusion, this paper demonstrates that My Place, by exposing discomfitures of Australian history concerning white males, ruptures and implodes the white Australian national narrative from the basis which has been fostered through passing the shameful history of violence and exploitation into oblivion.
