A bold and inspiring history of resistance, persistence and defiance in Aotearoa New Zealand told through objects associated with protest movements of the past 250 years is our Book of the Week this week. Protest Tautohetohe by Stephanie Gibson, Matariki Williams and Puawai Cairns (published by Te Papa Press) draws on museum and private collections to convey a picture of the country as a place where change seems possible (and necessary).
