Every Tuesday 10:00pm Tuesday 19 September: Writer Talk with Jared Davidson and Arie Faber about Blood and Dirt: Prison labour and the making of New Zealand This writer's talk took place at Good Books on Wednesday 13 September. Blood and Dirt explains, for the first time, the making of New Zealand and its Pacific empire through the prism of prison labour. Jared Davidson asks us to look beyond the walls of our nineteenth- and early twentieth-century prisons to see penal practice as playing an active, central role in the creation of modern New Zealand. Journeying from the Hohi mission station in the Bay of Islands through to Milford Sound, vast forest plantations, and on to Parliament itself, this vivid and engaging book will change the way you view New Zealand.
