ON RED EARTH
WALKING
The Pilbara Aboriginal Strike, Western
Australia 1946–1949
By Anne Scrimgeour
In 1946 Aboriginal people walked off pastoral stations
in Western Australia’s Pilbara region, withdrawing their
labour from the economically important wool industry
to demand improvements in wages and conditions.
Their strike lasted three years. On Red Earth Walking
is the first comprehensive account of this significant,
unique, and understudied episode of Australian history.
Using extensive and previously unsourced archival
evidence, Anne Scrimgeour interrogates earlier

INTRÉPIDE
Australian Women Artists in Early
Twentieth-century France
By Clem and Therese Gorman
It is hard for us to imagine the oppressed lives of
single women in the first half of the twentieth century.
Yet a few determined Australian women took a leap
into the unknown and carved careers for themselves
in Paris.
They studied, painted, and haunted galleries and
salons. They exhibited in the Paris Salons and in
private galleries on the Left Bank. They received prizes
and awards out of all proportion to their numbers.
And they brought back to Australia not only greatly
enhanced skills but also Modernism – to a country that
had barely heard of it.

Clem Gorman pioneered experimental theatre in
Australia before working as an arts administrator
in London. Nine of his plays have been staged
professionally and he has written nine books of non-
fiction. He has taught at universities in Australia and
the US and now writes on the visual arts.
Therese Gorman wrote stage plays in the 1970s with
her late husband, and with her husband Clem has co-
authored Sydney Harbour: A Guide from North Head to
South Head. She and Clem are currently working on a
biography of Sydney artist Wendy Sharpe.6 | new and forthcoming books
BURU ISLAND
A Prison Memoir
By Hersri Setiawan; translated by Jennifer
Lindsay
Buru Island was the site of Indonesia’s most remote
and infamous prison camp. In the wake of the 1965
repression of the political Left, between 1969 and 1979
approximately 12,000 men were held on Buru without
formal charge or trial. During their detention prisoners
suffered torture, forced labour and malnourishment,
as well as social isolation. This book is an edited
translation of the Indonesian language memoir by the
writer Hersri Setiawan (b.1936) who was detained for
nine years, including seven on Buru Island: as a young
writer filled with hope and optimism for Indonesia’s

of his life story leading up to and during his detention.
He brings into stark light the horrors of the period
after 1965, which included disappearances, murder,
torture, betrayal and loss, and his own capture and
incarceration on Buru Island. This is a moving and at
times harrowing account of human cruelty and, at the
same time, a story of survival and hope.

and defeats that nearly derailed his career, and his
remarkable rise from linen-draper and grocer to

uses Berry’s life to reflect on the possibilities and

When van Gogh set out on his artistic career, it was
not with the intention of becoming a leader of the

wage and live within the middle-class norms of his

of magazines and newspapers.

Vincent Alessi reveals how van Gogh’s collection
acted for him as both inspiration and manual: a guide
to the subject matter demanded by leading illustrated
newspapers and magazines and a model of artistic
style.
These popular images are shown to have palpably
shaped van Gogh’s art, throughout his career, and to
open up rich new understandings of a life and body of
work that continue to intrigue and inspire.

existence. The real meaning of existence was there all the time of course,
in the simple pattern of the island which we had annexed as our own

“They had a larger-than-life, a mythical quality.
They drank more than other people, they wrote more,
Paul Genoni and Tanya Dalziell
they got sick more, they got well more, they cursed more and they
blessed more, and they helped a great deal more. They were an
inspiration. They had guts. They were real, tough, honest.
They were the kind of people you meet less and less.”
