'""From his involvement with the trade union movement of the 1930s through to the black rights movement of the 1960s and 70s, Joe McGinness has often been labelled a troublemaker. The son of an Irish migrant and an Aboriginal woman of the Paperbark People of the Northern Territory, he was raised with an unusual outlook on life. This memoir opens with his idyllic childhood on the family's isolated tin mine, learning Irish lore from his father, Stephen McGinness, and bush survival from his mother, Alyandabu. When his father dies, Joe McGinness begins to discover what it means to be Aboriginal in white Australia: the family is placed under the protection of a vast and ignorant white bureaucracy; the tin mine claim is forfeited; and Joe, his mother and brother are incarcerated in a compound in Darwin. Entering the political fight for equality, the adult Joe McGinness effectively used the law to change the law. What had seemed most unyielding and unjust also had the power within it for radical change without violence."'.
