Description

In this wide-ranging collection, award-winning historian Aroha Harris brings together more than two decades of writing. The essays move across time and place: from the intimate spaces of whanau memory to Maori land struggles, the quiet determination of nurses, aunties and activists, and the futures our mokopuna might inherit.

An award-winning writer: More than two decades of wide-ranging writing from one of Aotearoa’s most respected Maori historians. Maori history: Essays grounded in the conviction that Maori history – foundational and continuous – connects past, present and people across time. Intimate and expansive: From whanau memory and the teachings of kuia to land struggles and Maori-Crown relationships.
