'Warren Mundine's raw, personal success story shines a bright and inspiring light on the struggle of Australia's indigenous people in a white world. From the poverty of a family living in a tent beside a river, to the heights of political power as National President of the Australian Labor Party and advisor to five prime ministers, this is a moving story of an Indigenous life woven into the very fabric of Australian politics.'

'Warren Mundine is one of Australia’s most recognised, respected and revered Aboriginal activists. And one of the most outspoken. What I love most about Warren is that you can never second guess his response. He doesn’t allow himself to be pigeon-holed or his opinions to be predictable.
'I thought that the release of his memoir, In Black and White, provided an opportunity to talk about the importance of storytelling to Indigenous peoples, the lack of Indigenous voices in mainstream Australian culture, words and politics, and how he felt about laying his life bare in his memoir.' (Introduction)
'A conversation with Warren Mundine is a bit like being a passenger in a bumpy old ute: no matter what directions you might try to give, the driver goes wherever he pleases but you get there in the end, having had a lot of laughs on the way. Although if you're not careful, you might end up with a couple of bruises.' (Introduction)
