‘The Wakefield Companion to South Australian History is likely to become the standard reference on the state’s history, and an indispensable aid to students, journalists, local historians and South Australian patriots. It contains hundreds of well-researched, compact entries on events and movements, institutions and industries as well as longer essays on major themes from Aboriginal-European Conflict and Aboriginal Histories to Wages and Water.’ – Graeme Davison, Monash University

‘If interstate rivalry can inspire future state encyclopaedias of this standard, the whole of Australia will benefit. From entries about the Old Gum Tree to the influence of local climate on development, this reference reminds us that state identity runs much deeper than petty spats about who gets to host the Grand Prix.’ – Fiona Capp, Age
