In See How We Roll Melinda Hinkson follows the experiences of
Nungarrayi, a Warlpiri woman from the Central Australian desert, as
she struggles to establish a new life for herself in the city of
Adelaide. Banished from her hometown, Nungarrayi energetically
navigates promises of transformation as well as sedimented
racialized expectations on the urban streets. Drawing on a
decades-long friendship, Hinkson explores these circumstances
through Nungarrayi's relationships: those between her country and
kin that sustain and confound life beyond the desert, those that
regulate her marginalized citizenship, and the new friendships
called out by displacement and metropolitan life. An intimate
ethnography, See How We Roll provides great insight into the
enduring violence of the settler colonial state while illuminating
the efforts of Indigenous people to create lives of dignity and
shared purpose in the face of turbulence, grief, and tightening
governmental controls.
