Anette Bremer,API Review of Books, April 2006
This is an extraordinarily refreshing collection of essays, each contribution teasing out different aspects of Indigenous/non-Indigenous relations. Louis Nowra recently praised Aboriginal Studies Press for publishing quality works re-examining what has been pejoratively called the 'black-armband view of history'; Uncommon Ground continues this fine tradition.
The Canberra Times, Saturday 20 AugustĀ 2005
An edited collection of biographical essays, written in the main by academics, both black and white, male and female, it responds to a professional curiosity as to what white women contributed, if anything, to the struggle of Aboriginal rights in the early decades of the 20th century.
