— Review of On Red Earth Walking : The Pilbara Aboriginal Strike, Western Australia 1946–1949 Anne Scrimgeour , 2020 multi chapter work criticism

'Marrngu men and women (local Aboriginal people in the Nyangumarta language) tell the story of their successful three-year strike to decolonise the Pilbara in this monumental history by Anne Scrimgeour. Oral history recordings, conducted by Scrimgeour and transcribed and translated into English by Barbara Hale and Mark Clendon, enable Marrngu to speak truth to the deeply racist, violent, colonial power systems so well documented in the historical record. Extensive research, eloquent and nuanced analysis, new arguments and captivating storytelling make this a truly great historical work.' (Introduction)
