One of the great Aboriginal leaders of the modern era, Rob Riley, was at the center of many debates that have polarized views on race relations in Australia: national land rights, the treaty, deaths in custody, self-determination, the justice system, native title, and the Stolen Generations. Tragically, he took his own life in 1996, shocking community leaders and citizens alike. Drawing on perspectives from history, politics, and psychology, and set against the tumultuous background of racial politics, this book explores Rob's rise and influence as an activist. Rob Riley's belief that he had failed in this quest raises profound questions about the legacy of past racial policies, the extent of institutionalized racism in Australia, and the reluctance of Australia's politicians to show leadership on race. So much of Rob Riley's life was a triumph of the human spirit against great adversity, and this legacy remains.
