Beautifully illustrated it includes essays from experts in the field and also provides readers with interpretation of the iconography in the artworks. The 30 works that will feature in the book fall between the period 1972, when Geoffrey Bardon, the art teacher credited with initiating the Papunya movement, left Papunya and the early to mid 1980s, when the first desert canvases were being included in art galleries. This period has been overlooked in all Papunya Tula exhibitions and publications and most of the works have not been seen by Australian audiences in the three decades since they were painted. The book will introduce and explore these canvases as cultural documents in the social milieu of the Papunya settlement and in the wider history of Aboriginal art and social change.

Yet Australia in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was often the scene of conflict, as Europeans seized the land and its resources, and its original owners fought back. The extent of conflict and the degree of violence are matters of much controversy. This book presents a series of essays by leading contributors to the debate. The different historical and political perspectives make a major contribution to the study of cross-cultural relations in Australia's past and provide valuable background for anyone who wishes to understand relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians today.

In Painting the Land Story, Luke Taylor, Howard Morphy, Kim Akerman, Ute Eickelkamp, Brenda Croft and Mary Bani variously explore Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art from traditional and contemporary perspectives. Their essays look at art as an expression of community identity, interrogate the context of traditional and contemporary environments in which art is created and reveal the sense of ancestral and cultural precedent, which continues to inform and inspire all forms of artistic expression.
