This landmark collection presents fresh, progressive perspectives on what it means to be 'Asian' in Aotearoa.
Te Papa curator Grace Gassin draws together journalists, researchers, activists, filmmakers and political commentators to relate experiences of living between cultures and to explore the legacies of New Zealand's diverse Asian diaspora histories.
Featuring a broad range of taonga from the museum's collections, this timely book brings these social histories into focus, revealing shared themes of resistance and representation that offer ways to reckon with the past and imagine new futures.
