1 y separately published work icon Our Mob Served Our Mob Served : Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories of War and Defending Australia Mary Anne Jebb (editor), Allison Cadzow (editor), Canberra : Aboriginal Studies Press , 2019 15940156 2019 selected work criticism

'While Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been largely ignored or marginalised in national histories of war and service, they have remembered their involvement in Defence service and the service of their relatives.

'Our Mob Served presents a moving and little-known history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander war time and defence service, told through the vivid oral histories and treasured family images of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. 

'This unique book shares lively and compelling stories of war, defence service and the impact on individuals, families and communities, sometimes for the first time.' (Publication summary)
1 3 y separately published work icon Serving Our Country : Indigenous Australians, War, Defence and Citizenship Joan Beaumont (editor), Allison Cadzow (editor), Sydney : NewSouth Publishing , 2018 13182997 2018 anthology criticism

'After decades of silence, Serving Our Country is the first comprehensive history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s participation in the Australian defence forces.

'While Indigenous Australians have enlisted in the defence forces since the Boer War, for much of this time they defied racist restrictions and were denied full citizenship rights on their return to civilian life. In Serving Our Country Mick Dodson, John Maynard, Joan Beaumont, Noah Riseman, Alison Cadzow, and others, reveal the courage, resilience, and trauma of Indigenous defence personnel and their families, and document the long struggle to gain recognition for their role in the defence of Australia.'

1 Guided by Her : Aboriginal Women’s Participation in Australian Expeditions Allison Cadzow , 2016 single work criticism
— Appears in: Brokers and Boundaries : Colonial Exploration in Indigenous Territory 2016; (p. 85-118) '... This chapter will argue that while it is vital to maintain awareness of accounts of women in hiding, we also need to look at representations of women’s involvement in expeditions and to consider their contributions, motivations and interests in guiding explorers through country. The chapter will briefly discuss historiographical material on women’s agency in expeditions and how women’s presence in exploration journals has been obscured or ignored in histories of exploration. ...'
1 Brokering in Colonial Exploration: Biographies, Geographies and Histories Tiffany Shellam , Maria Nugent , Shino Konishi , Allison Cadzow , 2016 single work criticism
— Appears in: Brokers and Boundaries : Colonial Exploration in Indigenous Territory 2016; (p. 1-13) 'The history of exploration has often been thought of as a heroic drama in which the explorer is the principal, sometimes exclusive, protagonist and narrator. This edited volume – along with a companion volume Indigenous Intermediaries: New Perspectives on Exploration Archives – treats exploration as a collective effort and experience involving a variety of people from across social strata and cultures coming together, sometimes for a sustained time, at others only briefly, in various kinds of relationships and interactions. ...'
1 2 y separately published work icon Brokers and Boundaries : Colonial Exploration in Indigenous Territory Allison Cadzow (editor), Shino Konishi (editor), Maria Nugent (editor), Tiffany Shellam (editor), Canberra : Australian National University , 2016 9798430 2016 selected work criticism biography

'Colonial exploration continues, all too often, to be rendered as heroic narratives of solitary, intrepid explorers and adventurers. This edited collection contributes to scholarship that is challenging that persistent mythology. With a focus on Indigenous brokers, such as guides, assistants and mediators, it highlights the ways in which nineteenth-century exploration in Australia and New Guinea was a collective and socially complex enterprise. Many of the authors provide biographically rich studies that carefully examine and speculate about Indigenous brokers' motivations, commitments and desires. All of the chapters in the collection are attentive to the specific local circumstances as well as broader colonial contexts in which exploration and encounters occurred.' (Source: TROVE)
