This little book carries resonance far greater than its modest size, which is apparent by its steady sales over a long period. It's very timely given the subject matter, and will be a key book for all NZers who are concerned and interested in where we are going and the future of race relations, Treaty of Waiting issues, inequality etc etc. There are 5 essays defining and explaining decolonisation - what it is, whit it might look like, the role of Pākehā, etc. It's an introductory text to an issue that demands more reading, and action. A vital book.
