Unlucky Australians critique of Aborigines struggle
Frank Hardy's 1967 account of the Wave Hill strike and Gurindji demands portrays colonial exploitation, wages abuse, and housing misery. The review urges readers to confront Australia’s race problem, praises the Aboriginal strike as progress, and calls for federal land rights and genuine government support. It contrasts Australia with the United States in addressing racial inequality.

Black Power and Cuba Revolt Compared in Review
A critical review contrasts Stokely Carmichael and Charles Hamilton's Black Power with Che Guevara's Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolution. It argues Black Power seeks local Black majorities to pressure whites, while Cuba’s struggle featured a broader revolutionary dynamic. The piece notes U.S. racial inequality, unemployment gaps, and the limits of reformist methods, warning that compromise may fail to avert wider conflict.
