Debra Nangala McDonald is a Pintupi artist born in 1969 at Papunya. Her mother, Martha McDonald, was an artist, as were her aunties Linda Syddick Napaltjarri and Wentja Napaltjarri. This family of artists has a strong connection to their own story, which involves their ancestors' journeys from the Gibson Desert to the desert settlements. The family settled in the small communities of Haasts Bluff, Papunya, and Mt Liebig in the 1940s.

The clan leader of this small group was Shorty Lungkata Tjungurrayi (c1920–1987), Debra McDonald’s grandfather. Shorty Lungkata became a well-known artist at Papunya in the 1970s and 1980s, and his stories were closely tied to the ancestral sites around Lake MacDonald.

Debra Nangala McDonald is also related to artist Mitjili Napurrula through marriage, and she has maintained a close connection with her mother-in-law, often painting alongside her. Debra's recent works continue the imagery and stories connected to Mitjili, including those of the Mulga trees traditionally used for making spears.

About the Painting

Debra Nangala McDonald's painting, My Special Homeland, depicts the sacred country of her grandfather, Shorty Lungkata Tjungurrayi, located near Lake MacDonald. The work features Tingari Cycle designs, which symbolise the journey of ancestral beings and the creation of the land. The painting also highlights the significant Mulga tree (Watiya Tjuta) and the land surrounding Ikuntji (Haasts Bluff), a place her family and mother-in-law, Mitjili Napurrula, are connected to.

Spectacular Albeit Unknown History of Race Relations
Format: Hardcover
This is a great piece of historiography about something few know about at all --- slavery in New York City in the 18th century. How about a slave "rebellion" in New York City, how about more people burned at the stake than in the Salem witchcraft trials, how about dark byways and highways of old New York, barely transformed from its days as New Amsterdam, dark plots in dank places, shrill frightened tyrants overreacting with bloody retribution, burned ruins of an early African American village in Central Park? One cannot make up this stuff, it is too real so it must be history at its best. And written by one of our premier authors of history, a woman who makes our history live in The New Yorker to the acclaim of many, and yet whose best book, this one, is still too little known. If you appreciate Harry Truman's remark that the only new thing under the Sun is the history you haven't read, then this is one to curl up with and marvel at; a great way to spend a rainy day or a dark night.

Good, but not great.
Format: Paperback
Kudos to Lepore for delving into an important, little known subject, which she does better than most historians. At times, however, I think she felt the need to put every little piece of information she got into the book. It was way too long. Some good research, but she has done better. Still, worth checking out. I like to think I know American history, but I know nothing about this awful chapter.

DAMN, this is a great book!
Format: Hardcover
All history books should be this detailed, this readable, this humane. Lepore knows how to write about a horrible, nearly forgotten episode in NYC history. Unlike many historians, she steps away from overt politics or raw emotion. She knows that this subject is too serious to be shouted. It is the rare history book that is packed with facts as well as knowledge. I felt like Lepore was taking my hand and leading me through the smelly streets of lower Manhattan in 1741, like I could almost see the faces of...what were they, anyway? The victims of a horrible hoax? The demented planners of a plot to burn the city? Or something in between, where thieves can also be the keepers of ancient rites from a distant homeland, where the world is turned upside down? I could go on and on, but just buy the book!

New York Burning
Format: Paperback
. This is an important book that explores in depth what is usually only found in textbooks as a one-sentence summation: "In 1741 there was a slave uprising in New York City." Scholars will probably be happier starting with the Appendix and bibliography and then reading the book. The text is disorganized and uneven, and although this is non-fiction, the characters could have been more finely drawn. Peter Zenger's trail keeps popping up in unexpected places, often disconnected from the action the author is working on. Some sections are heavy on primary documents and period writings, others are more poetic. Yes, I do understand the parallels with the Salem Witch Trials. The Salem Witch Trials get more press today because of Arthur Miller's "Crucible." Color and religion of the participants aside, both events are stories of group think and mass hysteria, fear and anger. There is plenty of room here for a first-class film or play to be written. Read this book, learn from it. Expect to complain about it. Kim Burdick Stanton, DE

What You Didn't Know
Format: Paperback
Did you know that if you were a Catholic Priest on the streets of New York in 1747 that you'd be arrested and hung! Great book if you're interested in the times during which our founding Fathers were growing up. It'll give you a different concept on how slavery was different in NYC as opposed to in the South, and how many of the streets in NYC got there names from English magistrates. If you like history, especially of NYC, you'll love this book.
