"In a fine passage Broome and Manning write that for Alick life
'was a journey to oneness' . . . "A Man of All Tribes" is a timely
production that provides us with more generous perspectives for
thinking about the nature of identity and what it means to be
Australian." --Philip J Morrissey, "Australian Journal of
Indigenous Education"
"No account of race relations in Victoria could be reliable, or
complete, without a focus on Alick Jackomos." --Colin Tatz,
visiting fellow in political science, Australian National
University
"To share the life of Alick Jackomos will be a privilege for those
who read this story. Celebration of one's life gives immense
pleasure and provides an opportunity to acknowledge how people such
as Alick shape and change attitudes from the grass roots to the
top." --Joy Wandin Murphy, Senior Woman Elder of the Wurundjeri
People and professor, Swinburne University
