1 [Review Essay] Doreen Kartinyeri : My Ngarrindjeri Calling Barbara Paulson , 2010 single work review
— Appears in: Australian Aboriginal Studies , no. 1 2010; (p. 120-121)
— Review of Doreen Kartinyeri : My Ngarrindjeri Calling Doreen Kartinyeri , Sue Anderson , 2008 single work autobiography

'Doreen Kartinyeri, with the assistance of Sue Anderson, tells her story with such a strong presence of personal voice it almost seems like you are sitting with her — not reading her words but hearing them. It is that human voice and the very personal relating of the direct effect on Ngarrindjeri lives, of Australian politics and policies most Australians only know about from sensationalist headlines that draws the reader into Kartinyeri’s story. This story covers every experience a Ngarrindjeri woman can go through living on a mission under ‘The Act’,1 from her removal from family into an institution, to the recent Machiavellian drama that was the Hindmarsh Island bridge issue.'
