520    "I stood at the school gates with nothing but the clothes 
       on my back. I had no money, no family, no home - nothing 
       to show for the past 16 years except my cheap cardboard 
       suitcase and a reasonable grasp of reading, writing and 
       arithmetic ... I didn't know what I was going to do next, 
       but I knew that whatever it would be, it would be on my 
       own terms."--Prologue, Two Cultures, One Story Dr Robert 
       Francis Isaacs AM, OAM, PhD (Hon) has spent his life 
       bridging the divide between white and black Australia. 
       Taken from his mother as a baby, Robert was raised in 
       institutions not knowing he had a family and not knowing 
       he was Aboriginal. Enduring severe hardship, discipline 
       and abuse at the hands of the Christian Brothers, Robert 
       went out into the world at the age of 16 determined to 
       make a life for himself and a family of his own. A chance 
       encounter with a member of his extended family would help 
       shape the rest of his life. Determined to both embrace his
       culture and build on his faith and education, Robert 
       immersed himself in the world of Aboriginal health and 
       housing, proving to be a straight-talking, deft political 
       negotiator who can achieve real outcomes for Aboriginal 
       people. Over the decades, Robert brings his considerable 
       interpersonal skills to bear in the areas of alcohol and 
       drug abuse, employment, relations with the police, the 
       justice system and education. Told with grace and strength,
       this memoir shares the inside story of a respected Elder 
       and his drive to break down cultural barriers and improve 
       the lives of his people
