A Long Way from No Go (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780648215974)

Survivor of child sex abuse in the Catholic Church, convicted whistleblower and Aboriginal activist, Tjanara Goreng Goreng tells unflinching truths about racism in Australia. Despite her traumatic childhood and poor family, Tjanara spent nearly 40 years at the nerve centre of Australian political life, advising successive Commonwealth and state governments on Aboriginal policy.

A captivating, deeply reflective and inspiring story of a life that sweeps across the breadth of the land and its history, Tjanara lays bare the violent legacy of Australia's colonial past, the pain and dysfunction in Aboriginal communities and her people's struggle for dignity and self-determination.
