Jack of Hearts QX11594 by Jackie Huggins, Ngaire Jarro
informative

This family history is significant in drawing attention to the participation - and shameful racism - encountered by Aboriginal soldiers. Through a tribute to their dad, Huggins and Jarro show the lives and challenges faced by serving men whose identity was often challenged.
This is definitely a family tribute in construction - and largely based on scant records - quite different in style to Huggins' other work, and I did occasionally want more of her incisive critique in the mix.
