Decolonisation in Aotearoa

This book examines decolonisation and Mori education in Aotearoa New Zealand in ways that seeks to challenge, unsettle and provoke for change.

Editors Jessica Hutchings and Jenny Lee-Morgan have drawn together leading Mori writers and intellectuals on topics that are at the heart of a decolonising  education agenda, from  tribal education initiatives to media issues, food sovereignty, wellbeing, Christianity, tikanga and more. A key premise is that colonisation excludes holistic and Mori experiences and ways of knowing, and continues to assert a deep influence on knowledge systems and ways of living and being, and that efforts to combat its impact must be broad and comprehensive.

The book presents a kaupapa Mori and decolonised agenda for Mori education. The writers put kaupapa Mori into practice through a prkau (narrative) approach to explore the diverse topics in a range of styles.

Digital editions in ebook and Kindle versions will be available from 15 October
