See How We Roll by Melinda Hinkson

Melinda Hinkson follows the experiences of Nungarrayi, a Warlpiri woman from the central Australian desert, as she struggles to establish a new life for herself in the city of Adelaide.

“Reflecting on issues of migration, exile, and life under continuing settler occupation in Australia, Melinda Hinkson brings into view the quotidian pressures and moments of joy for diasporic Warlpiri communities while pushing against anthropology's too hasty withdrawal from accounts of place-based differenceHer ruminations on ethnographic representation and theories of identity and place will bring long-standing anthropological debates to a new level of vulnerability and exposure.” -- Tess Lea, author of * Wild Policy: Indigeneity and the Unruly Logics of Intervention *
“Melinda Hinkson communicates the massive sense of grief and loss that underlies contemporary Indigenous life in Central Australia while addressing the drastic and changing policies that the Australian government has imposed on Indigenous people. With her extended attention to Indigenous life in new conditions, Hinkson engages with social life in a framework that allows for its considerations in terms of global processes. An intimate and nuanced exploration of life lived in difficult circumstances, See How We Roll is a singular and beautifully executed book.” -- Fred R. Myers, author of * Painting Culture: The Making of an Aboriginal High Art *
"This book will be of considerable interest to students and scholars of settler colonialism and contemporary configurations of indigeneity, including the continued relevance of place in reconfigured social and cultural worlds. Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty; professionals." -- C. J. MacKenzie * Choice *

Melinda Hinkson is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Deakin University and author of Remembering the Future: Warlpiri Life through the Prism of Drawing and Aboriginal Sydney: A Guide to Important Places of the Past and Present.
