Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has inscribed inside page. Dust jacket has some creasing to edges. Top spine is torn but is now protected by book tape. Interior and binding are also very good.

While Patrick Dodson's bearded image is well known, this outstanding Aboriginal leader's remarkable history has never been told before.

In Paddy's Road, Kevin Keeffe brings us stories of Dodson's life woven from interviews, government archives and family stories. This source material and Keeffe's social and political analysis uniquely describe the life and the political, cultural and spiritual beliefs of Australia's first Aboriginal Catholic priest, who was also a land rights activist, Royal Commissioner and founder of Australia's reconciliation movement.
