Imagining Decolonisation

“Reading Imagining Decolonisation, the slim book that invites us to dream big.”

Anahera Gildea, The Spinoff

“With stories, anything is possible.”

Moana Jackson, e-Tangata

“Instead of talking at the reader these authors present informed ideas and observations for thought and also reference one another. This topic can be nerve wracking as there are so many different connotations associated with the word 'decolonisation' currently. How do you view the way life is going for our people and country? Consider some of the ongoing problems.... personal, social, environmental, cultural, fiscal and political, which never diminish but become more complex because of the way we are currently viewing them. I do encourage people from all walks of life to read this small but powerful book to gain an insight into the current conversation surrounding a credible future that could provide huge gains for all.”

“To mash the metaphors: is it a matter of a married couple uniting their individual strengths under one roof, or of finding peace by living "together apart"? Perhaps such ambiguity is inevitable in a collaborative exercise in fleshing out what Jackson calls the "ethic of restoration", where the end point gains definition as the journey progresses.”
