Publishers Description: This is a stirring story of an Indigenous life woven into the very fabric of Australia and its politics. Warren Mundines raw, intimate success story shines a bright and inspiring light on the struggle of Australias Indigenous people in a white world. Warrens curriculum vitae runs into pages of honours, appointments and awards. So its extraordinary to consider that, as an Aboriginal boy in the 1950s, he was a second-class citizen, born into a world of segregation and discrimination that few Australians today are truly aware of. One of eleven children in a poor Catholic family, Warren has been on a remarkable journey. From his early life in country NSW, with only one pair of shoes and a single bed shared with three of his brothers, to today where he frequents the highest echelons of power and business, Warren is regarded by many as one of Australias national treasures. From traditional ceremonies in outback Australia, to behind-the-scenes betrayals to sitting at the table with world leaders and telling them precisely what he thinks the solutions are for our nation, Warren is one of the most significant and engaging personalities in todays political spectrum. Warren gives all Australians hope in this great and, until now, untold story of Australia. One of this countrys most important writers on the vexed and sensitive issues of black and white Australia, politics and race.
