Aotearoa New Zealand is home to a large Pasifika population.
This illustrated collection of essays is the first of its kind
to tell their stories – from the legendary feats of the
ancestors of modern Māori, to the politically explosive dawn
raids of the 1970s, and beyond. This beautiful book is lavishly
illustrated with hundreds of historical and contemporary photos
and archival documents. Drawing on a rich cache of oral history,
it is a fresh and surprising record of over a thousand years of
discovery, encounter, and cultural exchange. The research for
this book commenced in 2003 and produced a major exhibition
which opened in 2007. For more information about the book click
