In her most ambitious book to date, Ockham New Zealand Book Awards shortlisted Tears of Rangi: Experiments Across Worlds, Anne Salmond reframes our understanding of NZ. Beginning with the earliest encounters between Māori and European New Zealanders, Salmond suggests that the legacy of those clashes and exchanges provides us with an opportunity to rethink our relationship to the waterways, the land, and each other. Salmond puts forth her thesis with Chris Wikaira.
