Yuendumu Everyday is an enjoyable, insightful, and important examination of some underappreciated cultural dimensions of an underappreciated part of the world, and Musharbash is to be congratulated for her ground-level research and her thoughtfulness in making the everyday anthropologically meaningful.
Will Owen, Aboriginal Art & Culture, 8 March 2009
It is something of a truism that good ethnographies illuminate the differences between societies as well as the common humanity that binds them. Yuendumu Everyday delivers on both accounts. Musharbash offers a rich exposition of profound details of daily life and a respectful gloss on their meanings. She helps us to see both the Warlpiri's view of themselves and our perceptions of them. But best of all, she succeeds in bringing those two perspectives into closer alignment.
David Trigger, The Australia Literary Review, 3 June 2009
Yuendumu Everyday is an informative ethnographic account of mundane life among Aboriginal people …Musharbash performs an impressive act of cross-cultural translation, presenting her findings in a highly readable form.
