by Richard Broome

The story of a non-Aboriginal man who crossed over into the Aboriginal world, Alick Jackomos became fully immersed in Aboriginal welfare work and activism for Aboriginal rights. His life is set in the context of evolving Aboriginal activism, yet there were moments of controversy as he was a non-Aboriginal man, with an Aboriginal family, living and moving in an Aboriginal world and working for Aboriginal causes.

I only managed to read half of this because I need to bring it back to the library - Alick Jackomos seems to be a great man, an advocate for Indigenous rights and just an interesting dude. The book goes backwards and forwards in time a fair bit, because it is organised thematically rather than chronologically, but I think it will work well for SS1010.
