For over three decades, books published by Bridget Williams have contributed to critical scholarship in New Zealand; they have told our stories, and deepened our understanding of what it is to inhabit these islands. The BWB Publishing Trust was established in 2006 to ensure that this work continues. The Trust shares the commitment expressed in BWBs publishing: a commitment to the signicance of New Zealand publishing in a digital age. It is through books the printed page between two covers and words emerging on screen that ideas are captured, stimulated, debated and documented. And it is through books that we understand our history and know the present better. For New Zealanders, this exploration has a special urgency, as our cultural identity encounters the neutralising impact of globalisation. The economics of publishing serious New Zealand non-ction are framed by a small immediate market and a more remote international one. Under an innovative concept, the BWB Publishing Trust will enhance and sustain the work of a highly creative and commercially astute company. Trust funds will enable BWB books to be written, published and digitised. The BWB Publishing Trust will seek funding through grants and donations, and accept support from state institutions, other trusts, corporates and individuals. Charlotte Macdonald, Chair
Nations need their voices, and books are those voices. New Zealand needs many more books of the quality that BWB has published, and the authors who work with Bridget Williams have written. This is vital to the growth and maturing of our society. I have helped to set up the BWB Trust so that we can make sure that all this happens. Hugh Rennie, QC, Settlor

Bridget Williams Books


Reporting from the frontier of change that is publishing today, in New Zealand as elsewhere. The future is always uncertain, but this has particular resonance for publishers looking ahead at 2014. As that astute businessman, Tim Waterstone, said recently: Anyone who tells you they know the future [about books] is telling you the most grotesque lie, because none of us do. (Guardian, 26/04/2013) At BWB, what we see is dynamic as well as challenging. We look with concern at the narrowing intellectual space, at bookshops in communities facing the impact of recession, at the growing dominance of particular international genres, at reports of reducing sales from publishers in many different countries. In 2013, we can see more rupture than evolution in the ways that books and words and ideas are produced and bought and sold. But we look too at emerging opportunities in the digital world, with international connections, for writing on contemporary issues, and for new kinds of history. BWB Texts, established by Tom Rennie, represents an innovative step into that unknowable future. In these short narratives, BWB is extending its publishing range to include science alongside memoir and history; novelists are contributing commentary; and BWB Texts present superb opportunities for writing on current issues. BWB Texts are digital-rst but not digital-only. People today are reading in all formats, and through 2014 we will be issuing some BWB Texts as small paperbacks. Central to BWBs publishing are high standards good writing, sound scholarship, and excellent production. In the digital world as much as in print, we are establishing the production values that enable readers, librarians, bookshops and all who wish to work with our digital programme to access our books. And we believe that our core standards meet these objectives, while knowing too that readers work within many different frameworks. Tangata Whenua: An Illustrated History by Atholl Anderson, Judith Binney and Aroha Harris will be published in 2014. In working on this immense project, we have drawn on a rm belief that knowing the past empowers the future. The Hon. Justice Joe Williams has written: Tangata Whenua is as much about continuity as it is about the past. It is the story of a living people. We look forward to sharing this important book with readers, in New Zealand and around the world. History continues at the heart of the BWB list, with Melissa Matutina Williams repositioning of Mori urban migration, with historical narratives in BWB Texts, and Barbara Brookes long-awaited history of New Zealand women later in 2014. And in 2014 we continue also to look at what is happening today critical analysis, political commentary, economic policy, documenting poverty and more will ow through our print and digital publishing programme. Writers include Tracey Barnett, Jonathan Boston, Simon Chapple, Paul Dalziel, Jane Kelsey, Max Rashbrooke, John Weaver, with others whose works are in discussion. Alongside some concerns about global dominance, we also see international connections opening up. In Canada, BWB titles by Tony Ballantyne and Charlotte Macdonald are being published by the University of British Columbia Press, and we are delighted to be issuing John Weavers Sorrows of a Century in a joint imprint with McGillQueens University Press in 2014. International authors Robert Wade and Rod Edmond gave lectures around the country in 2013, and an active programme of events associated with BWB publishing will continue. Last year, I wrote that to be publishing through these years [the 1980s and 1990s] was to be part of a transformation of New Zealands intellectual life. To be publishing now is to climb the spiral staircase from those whirlwind times; we are producing studies that build on earlier groundbreaking research, new work that takes different directions, and books from authors whose writing rst appeared two decades ago. Through Tom Rennies strategic vision, many titles from those years are coming back as e-books and a new generation of writers is stepping into the print/digital space that Tom is creating at BWB. There are no better words to express BWBs continuing commitment to good New Zealand publishing than those I quoted a year ago. They come from Judith Binney, in Stories without End (2010): Storytelling is an art deep within human nature ... The art of transmitting the histories that matter to successive generations is as old as human existence. And I add: this continuity is possible through the support of the BWB Publishing Trust, as BWBs publishing makes its way through the disruptions, dynamics, challenges and opportunities of 2013 and 2014.

Tangata Whenua: An Illustrated History


Atholl Anderson, Judith Binney & Aroha Harris
A landmark publication, Tangata Whenua portrays the sweep of Mori history from Pacic origins to the twenty-rst century. Through narrative and images, it offers a striking overview of the past, grounded in specic localities and histories. Fifteen chapters bring together scholarship in history, archaeology, traditional narratives and oral history. Images from around the country (and from international museums) include taonga and artefacts, early European sketches and paintings along with contemporary artworks, and many photographs from collections and newspapers. Placing Mori at the centre of the countrys story, Tangata Whenua begins in the Pacic and outlines early settlement in New Zealand. A second section covers the period of great change in the nineteenth century, examining how Mori communities were affected by the inux of new technology, religious ideas, trade and literacy. The history then extends forward through the twentieth century with two world wars, the growth of an urban Mori culture, rising protest, and Treaty claims and settlements. At the beginning of the twenty-rst century, Mori are drawing on both international connections and their ancestral place in Aotearoa. The ways in which growth and development are interwoven with tension and resistance will be evident in the future as they have been throughout the past.
One of the most signicant books on the Mori world ever written, this is the sort of generous canvas on which we can paint our future. Sir Tipene ORegan Rich in text and images, this book will be a magnicent artefact, a taonga tuku iko in its own right. Professor Jonathan Mane-Wheoki Tangata Whenua lays a new foundation ... It draws on the evidence and thoughts of our greatest thinkers in several disciplines. Hon. Sir Taihkurei Durie The story of the Mori people of Aotearoa is as rich and drama-lled as any to be told ... Hon. Justice Joe Williams

Child Poverty in New Zealand


Jonathan Boston and Simon Chapple
Between 175,000 and 265,000 New Zealand children live in poverty, depending on the measure used. These disturbing gures are widely discussed, yet often poorly understood. If New Zealand does not have third world poverty, what are these children actually experiencing? Is the real problem not poverty but simply poor parenting? How does New Zealand compare globally and what measures of poverty and hardship are most relevant here? What are the consequences of this poverty for children, their families and society? Can we afford to reduce child poverty and, if we can, how? Jonathan Boston and Simon Chapple look hard at these questions, drawing on available national and international evidence and speaking to an audience across the political spectrum. Their analysis highlights the strong and urgent case for addressing child poverty in New Zealand. Crucially, the book goes beyond illustrating the scale of this challenge, and why it must be addressed, to identifying real options for reducing child poverty. A range of practical and achievable policies is presented, alongside candid discussion of their strengths and limitations. These proposals for improving the lives of disadvantaged children deserve wide public debate and make this a vitally important book for all New Zealanders. Jonathan Boston (far left) is the Director of the Institute for Governance and Policy Studies in the School of Government at Victoria University of Wellington. Professor Boston is a leading contributor to policy debate in New Zealand on a range of issues, and was the co-chair of the Childrens Commissioners Expert Advisory Group on Solutions to Child Poverty in 2012. The author of numerous books and articles, he contributed to Inequality: A New Zealand Crisis (BWB, 2013), and chaired the books advisory group. Simon Chapple (left) is a Senior Research Fellow in the Dunedin Multi-disciplinary Health and Development Research Unit, Department of Preventative and Social Medicine, Otago University.

Panguru and the City: He Kinga Rua


An Urban Migration History Melissa Matutina Williams
Travelling from Hokianga to Auckland in the middle decades of the twentieth century, the people of Panguru established themselves in the workplaces, suburbs, churches and schools of the city. Melissa Matutina Williams writes from the heart of these communities. The daughter of a Panguru family growing up in Auckland, she writes a perceptive account of urban migration through the stories of the Panguru migrants. Through these vibrant oral narratives, the history of Mori migration is relocated to the tribal and whnau context in which it occurred. For the people of Panguru, migration was seldom viewed as a one-way journey of new beginnings; it was experienced as a lifelong process of developing a co-existent home place for themselves and future generations. Dreams of a brighter future drew on the cultural foundations of a tribal homeland and past. Panguru and the City: He Kinga Rua traces their negotiations with people and places, from Aucklands inner-city boarding houses, places of worship and dance halls to workplaces and Maori Affairs homes in the suburbs. It is a history that will resonate with Mori from all tribal areas who shared in the quiet task of working against state policies of assimilation, the economic challenges of the 1970s and neoliberal policies of the 1980s in order to develop dynamic Mori community sites and networks which often remained invisible in the cities of Aotearoa New Zealand. Melissa Matutina Williams (Te Rarawa, Ngti Maru) teaches history at the University of Auckland. Based on her PhD research, Panguru and the City: He Kinga Rua draws on the oral narratives of the Te Rarawa people who joined with many other Mori in mid-twentieth century migrations to Aotearoa New Zealands cities. Melissa Williams scholarship has been acknowledged with honours and awards including the Kate Edger Educational Charitable Trust / Dame Joan Metge PostDoctoral Research Award and a Copyright Licensing New Zealand Writers Award. She has published and presented a number of papers in the eld of indigenous studies, in Aotearoa New Zealand and internationally.

The FIRE Economy


Jane Kelsey
The FIRE economy nance, insurance and real estate is now the worlds principal source of wealth creation. Its rise has transformed our political, economic and social landscapes. From rising inequality and ballooning household debt to a global nancial crisis and scal austerity, instability has accompanied this new orthodoxy. Yet it has proven remarkably resilient, even resurgent, in New Zealand and abroad. Examining the FIRE economy takes Jane Kelsey back to her bestselling account of the neoliberal revolution, The New Zealand Experiment. The systematic transfer of power rst detailed in that groundbreaking work is shown to have advanced, embedding neoliberalism in New Zealand. The FIRE economy is sustained by the norms, rules and institutions of this new orthodoxy a complex web of global nance, light regulation, debt, risk tolerance and property bubbles. The continuing narrative of neoliberalism in New Zealand reveals nancial crises to be inherent to the very structure of the FIRE economy. How we respond to New Zealands future crises, however, means questioning what responses the failing neoliberal orthodoxy will actually permit. In detailing the barriers the FIRE economy presents to change in New Zealand, Kelsey points towards socially progressive, post-neoliberal futures. Professor Jane Kelsey is one of New Zealands bestknown public intellectuals. Specialising in critique of neoliberal policy and globalisation, she has taught at the University of Auckland since 1979. Her bestselling New Zealand Experiment (BWB, 1996) remains a principal source on New Zealands neoliberal revolution; Reclaiming the Future (BWB, 1999), a far-sighted study of globalisation, was co-published with the University of Toronto Press. As an articulate critic of the Trans-Pacic Partnership Agreement, Jane Kelsey edited the collection No Ordinary Deal (BWB, 2010), co-published with Allen & Unwin. She was awarded a Marsden Grant in 2009 to review the neoliberal project in the wake of the global nancial crisis, under the title embedded neoliberalism in a postneoliberal era, research that forms the basis of The FIRE Economy.

Inequality
A New Zealand Crisis Edited by Max Rashbrooke
The divide between New Zealands poorest and wealthiest inhabitants has widened alarmingly over recent decades. Differences in income have grown faster than in most other developed countries. New Zealand society is being reshaped, stretching to accommodate new distance between those who have and those who have not. In this book, scholars, journalists, researchers, business leaders, workers and parents tackle the question of what income inequality means for New Zealand and its diverse communities. Inequality is a crisis that affects us all.
Inequality means watching people close to you persistently struggling ... to keep their households aoat, to do their best for their children and to make good decisions by weighing up the constrained range of choices on offer. Karlo Mila

Sorrows of a Century
Interpreting Suicide in New Zealand, 19002000 John C. Weaver
A powerful and poignant analysis of the motives for suicide, set amidst the challenges of the twentieth century. Focusing on New Zealands comprehensive and accessible coroners records, John Weaver analyses some twelve thousand cases to determine the social and cultural factors that contribute to suicide rates. He examines the official investigations into sudden deaths, placing them within the context of major events and societal changes, and turns to witnesses statements, suicide notes and medical records to remark on prevention strategies. A profoundly moving account of loss and suffering, and an insightful assessment of psychiatry and psychology in the last century.
Sorrows of a Century makes important contributions to New Zealand history, to histories of suicide, and to the wider scholarship of historical and archival methods. Impressively researched and thoroughly analysed, it is clearly the work of an accomplished historian and writer.

New Zealand Sign Language: A Learners Grammar


Rachel McKee
One of the countrys three official languages, New Zealand Sign Language evolved in the communities that grew from networks of Deaf children at three schools for the Deaf from the late nineteenth century. The Dictionary of New Zealand Sign Language (1997) now an invaluable online resource at nzsl.vuw.ac.nz and the Concise Dictionary of New Zealand Sign Language (BWB, 2003) were landmarks in documenting the language. A formidable body of scholarly research lies in these volumes, driven by the Deaf Studies Research Unit at Victoria University, led rst by Graeme Kennedy and later by David and Rachel McKee. Today, NZSL forms part of the curriculum in intermediate schools, and New Zealanders are increasingly familiar with the language. Drawing on her experience of both teaching and researching NZSL, Rachel McKee has developed A Learners Grammar to support all those who are learning NZSL students, families and friends of Deaf people, school teachers, public officials. This clear account of language structure and use is illustrated with drawings and photographs. Published initially as an e-book, New Zealand Sign Language: A Learners Grammar will form part of an exciting collection of digital resources that BWB is developing for libraries and schools. This initiative is supported by the Oticon Foundation. Rachel McKee is Programme Director of Deaf Studies at Victoria University. She has published wide-ranging research in Deaf studies and, with David McKee, she has made a major contribution to the research and publishing of New Zealand Sign Language resources. Books in School Libraries BWBs commitment to publishing for the Deaf world has continued from the publication of the Dictionary of New Zealand Sign Language, and includes Rachel McKees People of the Eye (2001). In 2012, the BWB Publishing Trust placed the Concise Dictionary of New Zealand Sign Language and People of the Eye in New Zealand school libraries, with the support of the Stout Trust (assisted by Deaf Aotearoa) and the Oticon Foundation.

Houses are an important part of everyday life in New Zealand, but we rarely stop to think about what our homes mean to us. These lively essays draw on historical analysis to examine many aspects of the New Zealand home work, domesticity, leisure, style, and even the development of national culture.

In 2002 global capitalism was in crisis. New Zealand stood at the crossroads: there were crucial choices facing the countrys government and its people. These essays reject market-led approaches to nation-building, and argue for strategies that put people at the centre. An exciting set of propositions outlines some pathways to just such a vision.

Pauline ORegan turns her warmth and wit onto the world of her childhood in a West Coast farming community. Accounts of climbing windmills and other adventures are interspersed with meditations on the religious faith that led her to become an activist nun. These autobiographical stories are by turns exuberant and contemplative.

This history of New Zealand policy on nuclear power charts the growth of the anti-nuclear movement that culminated in the 1984 Labour Governments No Nukes policy. A meticulously researched examination of the implications of this stance, the book traces the countrys involvement in the nuclear arms race.

A testament to the intense post-1970 debates that feminism created about womens place in society. This collection of frank and perceptive accounts of origins, choices and life courses, has become a unique portrait of an era and of some wonderful personalities and achievements.

This compilation of over 300 womens biographical portraits has been acclaimed as a groundbreaking reference work in womens history. It remains the denitive work in its eld. Wideranging, comprehensive and lively, it is an invaluable resource.

A remarkable account of a journey from conformity to a tentative and painful independence, of the growth and end of a marriage, and of the questioning and discovery of self. Eloquent and assured, this is the second volume of autobiography from an outstanding writer. Lauris Edmond later revised this text, which forms part of her Autobiography (BWB, 1994).

Before the Plunket Society, before antibiotics, before safe Caesarean sections and registered midwives, women giving birth in nineteenth-century New Zealand faced many different challenges and experiences. Drawing on Mori and Pkeh sources, the narrative is centred on mothers, their babies and families.

A vivid portrait of an educated Englishwoman forging a new life in early New Zealand society. Living through some of the colonys most tumultuous times, Jane Maria Atkinson was an acute and entertaining observer, as this award-winning biography shows.

In a country where land disputes were the chief cause of conict between coloniser and the colonised, surveying could never be a neutral, depoliticised activity. In Boundary Markers, Giselle Byrnes offers an alternative reading of European colonisation.

This important guide to New Zealands emissions trading scheme argues for a more equitable distribution of responsibility. This country has many options for cutting emissions, but courageous political leadership is needed.

When the Cartwright Inquiry reported that staff at the National Womens Hospital had conducted unethical research on women with cervical cancer, it was a watershed moment in medical history. Cogent arguments are presented in support of the Inquirys ndings, outlining the impact of the unfortunate experiment.

Pauline ORegan entered a convent at twenty-one. Thirty years later, she and two other nuns moved into a raw suburban development in Christchurch to create a new form of vocational community. The move changed her views and led her to public protest and activism. This is the story of her life, faith and activism and the story of a radically changing order.

Between 175,000 and 265,000 New Zealand children live in poverty: these alarming gures are widely discussed, yet often poorly understood. Jonathan Boston and Simon Chapple look hard at the questions, and identify some real options for action. This is a vitally important book for New Zealand today.

Does the failure of a traditional idea of God spell the end of the Christian tradition? Or does it simply mean the end of conventional doctrine? Christianity Without God affirms the latter, treating Christian culture as a living, evolving stream. Lloyd Geering turns for inspiration to the wisdom of Christianity, not dependence on beliefs about a supernatural saviour.

This essential guide contains illustrations for over 2,500 commonly used signs, a clear and accessible introduction to NZSL, and a full index and English words and phrases. Based on the comprehensive Dictionary of New Zealand Sign Language, it is a vital tool for those who use or are learning NZSL.

New Zealands rst Anglican bishop won few friends by speaking out against Crown practices that dispossessed Mori. Yet George and Sarah Selwyn were amongst the young colony's most inuential people.

Womens work fuels the economies of every country in the world. Yet no value is placed on this labour. Marilyn Waring's analysis from a feminist perspective explores the implications of discounting the work of half the worlds population. A challenge to the assumptions on which power rests.

Widely regarded as one of New Zealands greatest writers, Maurice Gee has written little non-ction. But in this BWB Text two exquisite childhood reminiscences are combined into a remarkable memoir. Gee writes in fascinating detail about his boyhood in West Auckland, and offers illuminating insights into some of the creative forces that have driven his ction.

This history of New Zealand opposition to playing sport with South Africa is traced from an early 1921 SpringboksMori rugby match to the protests generated by the 1981 tour and beyond. What does an issue that sparked so much controversy over so many years tell us about ourselves?

Book of the Year at the 2010 New Zealand Post Book Awards, this richly illustrated history sets out how Thoe were alienated from their land over the course of a century, and their attempts to regain authority over the Urewera region. Encircled Lands contextualises Thoe's ongoing quest for a constitutional agreement.

This history looks at the work of agencies and people who have created New Zealand's welfare services over 150 years. Tracing the complex dealings of voluntary groups and government social services, it offers a rich and detailed account of caring for others in New Zealand.

The children of prewar European immigrants were caught between the past (always remember) and the future (start from now). Based on a wide range of interviews and documentary evidence, this is a fascinating account of the lives of these immigrant children.

A detailed examination of the circumstances leading to British intervention and hence to the Treaty of Waitangi, Fatal Necessity was rst published in 1977. Now re-issued as an e-book, this key text in Treaty studies emphasises that the dual aim of British policy was to protect both settlers and Mori; the reality, however, proved very different.

The FIRE economy nance, insurance and real estate is now the worlds principal source of wealth creation. Its rise has transformed our political, economic and social landscapes. In detailing the barriers the FIRE economy presents to change in New Zealand, Jane Kelsey points towards socially progressive, post-neoliberal futures.

The rural world was changing fast in the late nineteenth century, endangering the livelihoods of farm labourers, shearers, musterers and other country workers. This book documents the radical transformation of rural work; many historical photographs are included.

The trial of theology professor Lloyd Geering for heresy in the late 1960s was unprecedented in New Zealand history. The dramatic events leading up to the trial, and the aftermath through the 1970s, are vividly described. This Text comes from the central chapters in Lloyd Geerings autobiography, Wrestling with God.

The Hauraki Gulf was a hotly contested area during the rst hundred years of European settlement. Rich in timber, gold and other resources, it became the site of loss and devastation for Mori as the land was systematically alienated. Hauraki Contested was joint winner of the J.M. Sherrard Award (2004).

Forget the label free trade agreement. The TPPA, under negotiation between New Zealand, the USA and ten other countries, is a direct assault on our right to decide our own future. In this hard-hitting BWB Text, Jane Kelsey takes apart the current negotiations surrounding the proposed TPPA and comes to some disturbing conclusions.

In the late twentieth century, the claims presented to the Waitangi Tribunal and the ensuing settlements gave rise to a powerful body of historical writing. These essays bring new, and sometimes challenging, perspectives to notions about history, power and loss.

Isnt nineteen an interesting age? It was, for Lauris Scott, in wartime Wellington. Based on letters to her mother, this charming memoir tells of a young girls passage into womanhood. Friends, books, betrayals, ideals, all lifes vicissitudes appear with a sparkle that conrms a writers hand. Later published as part of Lauris Edmond's superb Autobiography.

Ten women, who arrived in New Zealand between 1969 and 1986, speak about growing up in their rst countries and their lives in New Zealand. Despite difficulties of poverty, language and social adjustment, strength and optimisim shine through. Engaging and insightful.

The way Antipodean countries tackle issues of sovereignty, governance and democracy is challenged in a series of essays by lawyers, Mori leaders, sociologists and political commentators. The essays offer a challenging and incisive perspective on postcolonial issues where justice and identity intersect.

Death is a part of all our lives yet we often nd it difficult to discuss. This handbook looks at ways of acknowledging death in different cultures and religions in New Zealand. It includes sections on: cultures and faiths; Mori perspectives; facing death; and attending to grief.

Lauris Edmonds eloquent threepart autobiography tells the story of a Hawkes Bay childhood, student days, and years as a young mother, before her life as a writer began. The prose and the poetry together amount to a major work of identity construction, related to and just as deliberate as James K. Baxters or Janet Frames in this countrys literature. K.O.Arvidson

Missionary Thomas Kendall arrived in New Zealand in 1814. He was one of the rst to learn te reo Mori and make his way, problematically, in the Mori world. This remarkable study of cross-cultural experience won the F.P. Wilson Award in 1968 for Judith Binney as a young historian.

Suzanne Aubert, a radical nun, had an eventful 91-year life. She wrote copious letters reecting her rich friendships, her challenges to the church hierarchy, and her engagement with politicians. She wrote, above all, about the congregation she founded, the Sisters of Compassion.

Novelist, journalist, publisher, soldier John Mulgan was part of a gifted yet uneasy group of young New Zealanders who made their mark between the wars. He saw New Zealand as a place of challenge and austere demands. Vincent OSullivan draws a vivid portrait of an heroic yet enigmatic New Zealander.

Bill Oliver, a central gure in New Zealands intellectual landscape, reects on the decades of his own life, and the history that has shaped him. A wide-ranging account by a poet and historian, it is perceptive, wry and sometimes painfully honest. In 2008, he was honoured with the Prime Ministers Award for Non-ction, for his contribution to history.

Matiatia Bay is the gateway to Waiheke Island in the Hauraki Gulf. Establishing the signicance of the past, this book tells Matiatias story from early Mori occupation to the present day. But change is ever near, and today this beautiful heritage site is threatened by development. A charming and timely short history.

The various paths by which two families came to the southern hemisphere are central to this work. Encounters in Scottish and Pacic villages, visits to country churches in New Zealand, are woven into exploration of migration. Rod Edmond reects on identity and migration with ... penetrating insight... Fleur Adock

Early in the twentieth century, Rua Kenana established an unusual community at Maungapohatu in the Urewera. Mihaia traces the life of this community through to the police assault of 1916, and on to the 1930s.

Between these two generations of mothers and daughters lies extraordinary social change. The women talk about the different worlds they inhabit. At times the two worlds can never meet, while for others there has been an ongoing close relationship. With her usual insight, Alison Gray captures a key transition point for many New Zealand women in the late twentieth century.

Each step of pregnancy, birth and the babys rst months is set out with detailed information, photographs and diagrams. An invaluable New Zealand guide to pregnancy and childbirth.

These moving oral histories recount the lives of eight Mori women brought up in small rural communities associated with the Ringat faith, and its visionary leader Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki. The women are not only survivors, but also the chosen ones, the leaders of their communities.

This magnicent narrative tells of Ngi Tahus migration from the Wellington area into the South Island. The history draws on early accounts by elders, recorded in the Carrington text. The result is a unique text that explains how Ngi Tahu settled, fought and intermarried, establishing their right to the land.

Despite the global nancial crisis, New Zealand is negotiating a controversial free-trade agreement. The contributors argue that the Trans-Pacic Partnership Free Trade Agree ment threatens to undermine New Zealands ability to make its own political decisions.

This new interpretation of Mori urban migration is told through the stories of the people of Panguru. For them, the shift to the city was more a matter of a co-existent home place than of leaving the past behind. Melissa Matutina Williams writes from the centre of this narrative, as an urban member of a Panguru family.

The break-up of the Cheviot Estate, an enormous North Canterbury sheep run and a symbol of impregnable wealth, signalled radical change in late nineteenth century New Zealand. It heralded the rst great battle of a government championing the rights of land-hungry settlers. This is local history at its best.

Sir Paul Callaghan was a scientist with a rare gift for writing about the science he loved. Luminous Moments brings together some of his most signicant late essays. Whether describing a Wanganui childhood, reecting on the beauty of science or discussing fatherhood, Callaghan offers eloquent narratives that will endure in this countrys literature.

Whatever the collective memory of New Zealand as a welfare laboratory, the reality was always more complex. Highlighting the conditions that drove men and (especially) women to seek charitable aid, Margaret Tennnant chronicles debates that laid the foundations of New Zealands welfare system.

A visual and narrative history of two communities, Mori and Pkeh, during more than a hundred years of settlement in New Zealand. It reveals how the two cultures saw their history through very different eyes.

In a language rarely translated into print, the people of the eye tell their stories, bringing to life a world little known outside Deaf culture. The storytellers are old and young, and their lives reect the diversity and commonality of Deaf experience. Photographs by Bruce Connew accompany an illuminating text.

Mori prophetic movements from the late nineteenth century are widely known. This book looks at the twentieth-century leader, Hori Enoka Mareikura, from the Ruapehu district. For over ninety years the Mrama tanga has ourished, and Marei kuras prophetic sayings continue to guide the lives of the people.

Lauris Edmond concludes her three-book memoir in the wider world of writing, travel, friends, and literary debate. The honesty that marked Hot October and Bonres in the Rain tells us now about the pains and joys of loving, about friendship and its possibilities, about the exploration of different ways to live. Later published as part of An Autobiography.

New Zealand in 1986 was characterised by nothing so much as change. Reform was everywhere. In a prescient commentary on the times, Colin James examines how the quiet revolution was seen alternatively as betrayal, a dangerous experiment and a liberation.

Why would a country that has never had a boatload of asylum arrivals in modern history suddenly legislate for mass detention? Geographically isolated and previously a world leader in fair treatment of refugees, New Zealand has suddenly changed tack. Columnist and blogger Tracey Barnett questions this controversial new policy and its effect on asylum seekers.

A thorough study of the impact of globalisation on New Zealand. Jane Kelsey argues that globalisation is not inevitable, invincible or intrinsically good. This bold challenge points the way for open-eyed engagement with the economic realities of the future. Published with the University of Toronto Press.

Redemption Songs traces the life of one of nineteenth century New Zealands most signicant and controversial gures, the Mori prophet, guerrilla ghter and leader Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki. He was a man of enormous vitality and large paradoxes, who sought to give the land and his people new life.

Rebecca Maces rst-hand accounts of the Christchurch earthquakes provide a searing account of the disaster. They are powerful and immediate because Mace herself lived there, personally affected by the devastation. Written for the New Zealand Listener over a period of two years, Report from Christchurch traces the citys struggle to recover from the disaster and plan for the future.

1984 saw the dawning of the free market in New Zealand. The entire political, economic and social structure was turned on its head. Jane Kelsey analyses these shifts of power between 19841994. Her insights are farreaching, with a concern about the power of the private sector and the centralised state.

The future of the welfare state is under question today, as it was on publication of this book in 1991. David Thomson contends that welfare has shifted over the years to benet an ageing generation, at the cost of support for the young. A critical and unsentimental analysis of a political issue that remains critical.

Judith Binney, the editor of the New Zealand Journal of History for many years, selected these essays to offer readers insights into contemporary historical writing. Sharp analysis makes the collection an essential resource for understanding how New Zealand history is shaped.

Ann Beaglehole traces the experiences of European refugees who arrived in New Zealand in the 1930s. This is the rst book to document the lives of a genera tion who have made a remarkable impact on a place they can call their own. The difficulties they encountered were, as many said, a small price to pay.

This study describes how personal relationships, work, poverty, war, illness and legal troubles have driven some people to ultimate despair. A profoundly moving account of loss and suffering, and an insightful assessment of psychiatry and psychology in the last century.

Fourteen New Zealand women describe how and why they took a new challenge in mid-life, sometimes from necessity, but more often from choice. Sociologist Alison Gray again draws on oral history to document the changes taking place in womens lives in the late twentieth century.

These stories without end stand alongside Judith Binneys remarkable publications of forty years. They form narratives that ow one into another lling out histories, bringing people out of the shadows, making scholarship live. These essays from one of New Zealands greatest scholars make a particular contribution to Mori history.

This landmark publication places Mori at the centre of this countrys story. It portrays the sweep of Mori history from Pacic origins to the present. The narrative offers a striking overview, grounded in specic localities and histories. This is brought to life with some 500 paintings, photographs and maps.

Acting as a meeting pool for Mori and Europeans in the early nineteenth century, the Kerikeri Basin is today one of the countrys major heritage sites. This richly illustrated collection of essays by leading scholars draws on many strands of history, local expertise, archaeology and architecture. A vivid story about a signicant place.

Lloyd Geering offers a distillation of a lifetimes reading and reection on religious questions. He argues that the world we live in is largely a product of our own making, and that we supply its meaning. Thus God, a central symbol of meaning, is entirely a human creation. An important theological work.

The standard guide to the Treaty. Winner of the Goodman Fielder Wattie Award in 1988, the book looks at the place of the Treaty in New Zealand history from its making in the early nineteenth century through to the renewed engagement of the present. This second edition brings the discussion up to 2010, covering such contentious issues as the Foreshore and Seabed Act of 2004.

Settlement of iwi claims has been a feature of the political and legal landscape over the last thirty years. It has drawn international attention, as nations seek ways to build new relationships between indigenous peoples and the state. Leading scholars provide a comprehensive account of the Treaty settlement process.

In this new edition of a key text, international expert Anne Smith examines the latest thinking on childrens learning and development. Her multi-disciplinary approach emphasises the diverse cultural contexts of New Zealand childhood. An important book on early childhood for both students and parents.

Alan Wards account reveals a Treaty made and then repeatedly breached. This is a compelling case for fair and reasonable treatment, and for the rigorous continuation of the claims process. The impact of the past upon the present has rarely been analysed to such immediate purpose.

The late twentieth century saw a renewal of feminist activism, as women worked hard for equal rights and better opportunities. This lively account of the womens liberation movement comes from one of its participants. Up from Under recounts changes that had far-reaching effects on New Zealander's lives.

The struggle for womens rights is traced in articles and pamphlets from the suffrage movement of the 1880s to 1993 the centenary of womens suffrage in New Zealand. A powerful collection about an often overlooked narrative.

The Waitangi Tribunal was established in 1975 to hear claims by Mori against the Crown arising under the Treaty of Waitangi. This book brings together the work of leading historians, lawyers, and analysts to review the Tribunals role in reshaping Mori identity and society, and its contribution to ideas of justice and reparation.

A tangled web of cultural and economic networks spread across the colonial world. Tony Ballantyne positions New Zealand within these webs of empire; his essays break open the narrative of colonisation to offer sharp new perspectives on our history. Co-published with University of British Columbia Press.

In the tumultuous years of the late twentieth century, many workers found themselves on the margins of the labour force. Last hired in times of plenty and rst red in times of recession, marginalised workers were frequently in and out of employment, and usually peripheral in the union.

The World to Come sets out Lloyd Geerings vision of a new global spirituality that may enable humankind to survive, even ourish, on planet earth. Geering has dared to view our situation, our history, and our prospects from an Olympian height. The result is persuasive and profoundly illuminating. John B. Cobb

'I am my life story, as yet still open-ended and unnished ... thus to nd out who I am, I must recall the story of my life as clearly and honestly as I can. Geering writes autobiography with his usual sharp analysis. This is the story of a man who came to personify New Zealands debates over the meaning of religious belief in a secular age.

Did the entire New Zealand land mass sink beneath the waves 23 million years ago? If so, where did our distinctive ancient ora and fauna (such as our tree ferns and the tuatara) come from? A provocative treatment of the Drowning Zealandia controversy by geologist Hamish Campbell.
