Title: Decolonisation In Aotearoa – Education Research and Practice
Author: LEE-MORGAN JENNY

This book examines decolonisation and Maori education in Aotearoa New Zealand in ways that seeks to challenge, unsettle and provoke for change.

Editors Jessica Hutchings and Jenny Lee-Morgan have drawn together leading Maori writers and intellectuals on topics that are at the heart of a decolonising education agenda, from tribal education initiatives to media issues, food sovereignty, wellbeing, Christianity, tikanga and more. A key premise is that colonisation excludes holistic and Maori experiences and ways of knowing, and continues to assert a deep influence on knowledge systems and ways of living and being, and that efforts to combat its impact must be broad and comprehensive.

The book presents a kaupapa Maori and decolonised agenda for Maori education. The writers put kaupapa Maori into practice through a purakau (narrative) approach to explore the diverse topics in a range of styles.

Digital editions in ebook and Kindle versions will be available from 15 October
