— Review of Plains of Promise Alexis Wright , 1997 single work novel

'With her first novel, Plains of Promise, Alexis Wright makes an impressive debut. The story of three generations of Aboriginal women, the book is a recent entry in the University of Queensland Press's Black Australian Writers Series, begun in 1990, which describes itself as publishing "award winners and other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander authors." Although the series is currently negotiating the crisis of identity and authenticity which has recently convulsed the whole arena of Black Australian writing, its value to the Aboriginal literary community remains unimpeachable.'  (Introduction)
