Pages: 288
Format: Flexibind with jacket
ISBN: 978-1-99-116558-9

Exploring the many meanings of Asian identity in Aotearoa New Zealand, this new publication brings together a diverse range of voices and perspectives. Through personal reflections, research, commentary, and creative work, contributors examine the complexities of navigating multiple cultures and the histories that have shaped Asian communities across New Zealand.

Edited by Te Papa curator Grace Gassin, the book features contributions from journalists, activists, filmmakers, researchers, and political commentators. Drawing on taonga from Te Papa’s collections, it sheds light on overlooked and underrepresented stories, revealing common threads of resilience, belonging, and self-representation.

By connecting historical experiences with contemporary conversations, this publication offers new ways of understanding the past and imagining a more inclusive future.
