1 [Review] Memory, Place and Aboriginal-Settler History: Understanding Australians’ Consciousness of the Colonial Past Sarah Pinto , 2018 single work review
— Appears in: Australian Historical Studies , vol. 49 no. 2 2018; (p. 272-274)

'How do we come to know the past? That is the key question of this fascinating, moving, and troubling examination of historical consciousness in contemporary Australia. Memory, Place and Aboriginal-Settler History considers the ways in which settler descendants come to understand the past. It does so by looking closely at a particular people and place: non-Indigenous Australians with ‘generational connections’ to the Wirrabara and North-East Highland districts in mid-north South Australia (4). Krichauff is herself part of this group she terms settler descendants, and her own stories, observations, and research journeys are interwoven with those of her interviewees. Together they offer an evocative account of the presence of the past in place in the twenty-first century.'  (Introduction)

1 History, Fiction and The Secret River Sarah Pinto , 2010 single work criticism
— Appears in: Lighting Dark Places : Essays on Kate Grenville 2010; (p. 179-198) 'In this essay, Sarah Pinto is concerned with the historical novel's imaginative re-creation of historical moments and figures. She considers Grenville's fascination with archival research and with the processes of historical investigation in the context of the seemingly unceasing public debates about The Secret River as a way of explaining why historians felt the need to respond to t he novel. At stake, she suggests, were questions about the ways in which history is told and, in the process, how accounts of history by be differentiated from Historical fiction. Indeed, it is the very notion of empathy that some historians regarded as 'unhistorical'. Pinto argues that the rivalry between history and fiction, and history's claim to have access to a verifiable past, have tended to shut down what could and should be a productiove exchange between the two.'( Kossew, 'Introduction' xix)
