— Review of Wandjuk Marika : Life Story Wandjuk Marika , Jennifer Isaacs , 1995 single work autobiography 'Wandjuk Marika is an extraordinary book. At first glance, it would be easy to misread it. The front cover carries a photograph of Wandjuk Marika - to the uninformed, this photograph can effortlessly be categorised as that of a 'noble savage'.

Even the subject matter would seem to convey information about a 'pre-invasion' world, thereby reinforcing comfortable views that 'authentic' Aboriginals are the 'real' Aboriginals.' (Introduction)
