Drawing especially on his much- loved essays for E-Tangata, this collection gathers a lifetime of reflections on the era of Māori reclamation, moving with ease between personal memory\u003cbr\u003eand political insight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the turbulence of the 1970s and 1980s to the powerful iwi Māori of today, Stephens writes with an eye for the people who shaped him: kaumātua of the old world, marae aunties, rangatahi finding their place, activists, artists and friends. The essays range across reo and tikanga, identity, leadership, racism, joy and grief — touching on the Springbok Tour, commercial Māori television, kapa haka, a beloved family piano and the digital rituals of a new tangihanga era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm, direct and deeply grounded, Kua Tau is a memoir from a superb storyteller — a collection for anyone curious about their own sliver of time on earth, and the stories that make us whole.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47873128202476,"sku":"9781991301819","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781991301819-kua-tau.jpg?v=1782964240","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/kua-tau-by-stephens-tainui-9781991301819","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
