Warren Mundine’s memoir, In Black + White, offers a raw and deeply personal account of the challenges faced by Australia’s Indigenous people in a predominantly white society.
The newly released edition features a compelling chapter on the significance of reclaiming work as a virtue. Mundine passionately argues that viewing work negatively is causing damage to many Australian families and communities.
Warren’s impressive résumé, filled with honours, appointments, and awards, is a testament to his incredible journey. Yet, it’s remarkable to think that this Aboriginal boy, born in the 1950s, was once considered a second-class citizen, growing up in a segregated and discriminatory world that many Australians today know little about.
One of eleven children from a poor Catholic family, Warren's story is one of resilience and determination. Raised in country NSW, with only one pair of shoes and sharing a single bed with three of his brothers, he has risen to prominence, now engaging with some of the most influential leaders in politics and business. Today, he is regarded as one of Australia’s national treasures.
From participating in traditional ceremonies in remote parts of the country to confronting political betrayals and offering solutions to world leaders, Warren Mundine is one of the most significant and influential figures in modern Australia.
His memoir gives hope to all Australians, telling an inspiring and until now, untold story of Indigenous life intertwined with the nation's political landscape.
