Landfall 218: Islands (November 2009) order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author: Edited by David Eggleton
Customer Order Reference:
New Zealand Aotearoa is located on the map as one point of the Polynesian triangle — part of an oceanic scatter of islands. It is a nation characterised by dual settlement — Polynesian, then European — which more recently has welcomed a global diversity of new migrants and settlers.

Landfall 218 draws on our hybrid culture, celebrating a heritage of the bicultural and multicultural.
While submissions were actively sought from contributors of Maori and Pacific Island heritage, ‘Islands’ also implies communities, villages, self-contained entities, and even margins moving into the mainstream, the world currents of culture. Consequently the issue flings the net wide and keeps the definition broad.

Announces/publishes the winner/s of the Landfall Essay Competition 2009
Celebrates centenary of Landfall founder Charles Brasch's birth
Announces winner of The Kathleen Grattan Award for Poetry 2009

This book is not meant to explore the issues of the Treaty of Waitangi in any literal or direct way, but rather explore the human paradox that has followed from its writing 170 years ago: in trying to bring people together, words can also push them apart.
Lying at the core of our interactions, words are both salves and weapons, they can be simple and fork-tongued. How we read, how we misinterpret each other, can reveal the nature of our society, its diversity, complexity and richness. Written by a mix of leading New Zealand writers, with Maori, British, Irish, Polynesian, ... more
