Title: Unsettled: Small Stories of Decolonisation
Author: SHAW RICHARD

After Richard Shaw published his acclaimed memoir The Forgotten Coast in 2021, he made contact with P¿keh¿ with long settler histories who were coming to grips with the truth of their respective families' 'pioneer stories'. They were questioning the foundation of aggressive acts of colonisation and land confiscation on which those stories had been constructed.The Unsettled weaves those stories with Shaw's own and features New Zealanders who are trying to figure out how to live well with their own pasts, their presents and their possible futures. They may be unsettled, but they are doing something about it.It is an indispensable companion for the journey towards understanding the complex and difficult history of the New Zealand Wars and their ongoing aftermath.Praise for The Forgotten Coast:'Heartfelt, poetic; a pleasure to read' - Rachel Buchanan, The Spinoff.'A fresh and exciting approach to the history of Aotearoa New Zealand' - Paul Diamond, New Zealand Listener'Elegant, thought-provoking' - Georgina White, The New Zealand Journal of History
