"Bell manages to take very tricky and complex learnings and distill them into an easy to read book. While it's academic, it's easy to follow and understand. A bibliography and index are also included to aid readers further." Rebekah Lyell, NZ Booklovers
Becoming Tangata Tiriti brings together twelve non-Māori voices - dedicated professionals, activists and everyday individuals - who have engaged with te ao Māori and have attempted to bring te Tiriti to life in their work.
In stories of missteps, hard-earned victories and journeys through the complexities of cross-cultural relationships, Becoming Tangata Tiriti is a book of lessons learned. Sociologist Avril Bell analyses the complicated journey of today's partners of te Tiriti o Waitangi, and asks: Who are we as tangata tiriti? How do we identify in relation to Māori? What are our responsibilities to te Tiriti? What do we do when we inevitably stumble along the way?
With words by champions in their fields, including Meng Foon, Andrew Judd and others, this concise paperback acts as a guide for those just beginning their journey towards a Tiriti-based society - and is a sound refresher for others well along the path.
