Description
Book SynopsisAN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF PROTEST AND ACTIVISM IN AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND
Trade Review'This book is a valuable koha to those who missed class or were born away from the roots of knowledge. It is a fresh taonga for the bookshelf, and necessary for anyone who tells you how perfect New Zealand is' - Jessica Thompson Carr, Landfall Review Online; 'From a strong pool of contenders, one book stood above the others, not only achieving excellence in writing, illustration and design, but also – crucially – tackling a vast and significant topic worthy of these urgent times'; ‘Readers are drawn into Aotearoa’s rich and raw stories from contact to now. Engaging, insightful and incredibly well-researched texts by multiple authors provide a cohesive and strong overall narrative, covering a huge breadth of our history and the themes that define us as a nation' - Ockham judges' comments;
