Set against the tumultuous background of racial politics in an conflicted nation, this book explores Rob Riley's rise and influence as an Aboriginal activist. Drawing on perspectives from history, politics, and psychology, this work explores Rob’s life as a "moral protester" and the challenges he confronted in trying to change the destiny of the country.
Coming into this knowing nothing about Rob, I am a immeasurably better person for having read this. Rob was such a character and larger than life spirit, but this book captured none of that. This was a dry book and I'd love to see a book which captured Rob's passion, larrikinism and sense of fun.
