— Appears in: Literature and Theology , June vol. 31 no. 2 2017; (p. 246–247)

'A strong theme of redemption runs through this book, which is about the dying of an art centre at Papunya and its revival as Papunya Tjupi Arts. The book traces the place of Papunya in the Western Desert Arts movement and the pioneering achievements of the Papunya artists since its establishment in the 1970s and what Johnson describes as ‘the revolutionary incursion of Indigenous art into Australian contemporary art over the preceding two decades’ (p. 161). The author first visited Papunya in 1980, has been involved in the art centres and has written extensively about them.'  (Introduction)
