Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keri Hulme (1947-2021) was the first novelist from Aotearoa New Zealand to win the Booker Prize, for the bone people, published by a Spiral collective. Keri Hulme: Our Kuru Pounamu is Spiral's celebration of Keri's life and work, with tributes, essays, poems, stories, interviews, ephemera, art works and photographs. This is the third edition. It includes two stories Keri wrote at secondary school — they cover themes continued in the bone people, which Keri started to write when she was 18. These come from Keri's family — her whānau was always at the centre of her life; from her tahu-tuhituhi, her beloved writing associates; and from her neighbours and friends. To include her in the kōrero — she loved conversation! — Keri is represented by poems, art works, a long essay about Te Wāhipounamu - South West New Zealand World Heritage Area, two stories she wrote while still at school that prefigure themes in the bone people, shorter essays, and extracts from her letters. The title comes from a letter that the late Dr Erihapeti Rehu-Murchie wrote to Spiral. The cover and a suite of illustrations are by Kāi Tahu artist Madison Kelly. Keri Hulme: Our Kuru Pounamu is in seven parts — Kā Tahu-Tuhituhi Arapera Blank, Bill Manhire, Brian Potiki, Cathie Dunsford, Fergus Barrowman, Gaylene Preston, Janet Charman, Keri Hulme, Maclean Barker, Patricia Grace, Philip Tremewan, Renée, Rowley Habib, Sandi Hall, Sharon Murphy Moeraki — The Black Bach Keri Hulme, Leigh Te Ahuru–Lam Sheung, Siobhan McNulty Te Tai Poutini — Kā Naybore Andris Apse, David Alexander, Keri Hulme, Sonja Worthington Spiral & The Women's Gallery Bridie Lonie, Keri Hulme, Marian Evans the bone people Arapera Blank, Dulcie Smart, Erihapeti Murchie, Irihapeti Ramsden, Keri Hulme, Lynne Ciochetto, Mark Cubey, Sylvia Mary Bowen, Vicki McDonald Te Whānau Tommy Rakikino Miller, Mary Miller, Kate Salmons, Matthew Salmons Te Waiata The book ends with ends with a waiata composed by the late Miriama Evans of Spiral and sung at the launch of the bone people.

Download or read book The Bone People written by Keri Hulme and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2005-04-01 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrating both Maori myth and New Zealand reality, The Bone People became the most successful novel in New Zealand publishing history when it appeared in 1984. Set on the South Island beaches of New Zealand, a harsh environment, the novel chronicles the complicated relationships between three emotional outcasts of mixed European and Maori heritage. Kerewin Holmes is a painter and a loner, convinced that "to care for anything is to invite disaster." Her isolation is disrupted one day when a six-year-old mute boy, Simon, breaks into her house. The sole survivor of a mysterious shipwreck, Simon has been adopted by a widower Maori factory worker, Joe Gillayley, who is both tender and horribly brutal toward the boy. Through shifting points of view, the novel reveals each character's thoughts and feelings as they struggle with the desire to connect and the fear of attachment. Compared to the works of James Joyce in its use of indigenous language and portrayal of consciousness, The Bone People captures the soul of New Zealand. After twenty years, it continues to astonish and enrich readers around the world.

Download or read book Maori Boy written by Witi Ihimaera and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2014-11-07 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first volume of Witi Ihimaera's enthralling, award-winning memoir, packed with stories from the formative years of this much-loved writer. Witi Ihimaera is a consummate storyteller — one critic calling him one of our ‘finest and most memorable’. Some of his best stories, however, are about his own life. This honest, stirring work tells of the family and community into which Ihimaera was born, of his early life in rural New Zealand, of family secrets, of facing anguish and challenges, and of laughter and love. As Ihimaera recounts the myths that formed his early imagination, he also reveals the experiences from real life that wriggled into his fiction. Alive with an inventive, stimulating narrative and vividly portrayed relatives, this memoir is engrossing, entertaining and moving, but, more than this, it is also a vital record of what it means to grow up Maori. Winner of the Ockham New Zealand Book Award 2016 for the General Non Fiction category.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic work in postcolonial studies, Masks of Conquest describes the introduction of English studies in India under British rule and illuminates the discipline's transcontinental movements and derivations, showing that the origins of English studies are as diverse and diffuse as its future shape. In her new preface, Gauri Viswanathan argues forcefully that the curricular study of English can no longer be understood innocently of or inattentively to the imperial contexts in which the discipline first articulated its mission.

Book excerpt: “To read this book is to hear the voices of the ancestors and spirits telling us where we came from, who we are, and where we must go.” —Maxine Hong Kingston From critically acclaimed author Leslie Marmon Silko, an epic novel about people caught between two cultures and two times: the modern-day Southwest, and the places of the old ones, the native peoples of the Americas In its extraordinary range of character and culture, Almanac of the Dead is fiction on the grand scale, a brilliant, haunting, and tragic novel of ruin and resistance in the Americas. At the heart of this story is Seese, an enigmatic survivor of the fast-money, high-risk world of drug dealing—a world in which the needs of modern America exist in a dangerous balance with Native American traditions. Seese has been drawn back to the Southwest in search of her missing child. In Tuscon, she encounters Lecha, a well-known psychic who is hiding from the consequences of her celebrity. Lecha's larger duty is to transcribe the ancient, painfully preserved notebooks that contain the history of her own people—a Native American Almanac of the Dead. Through the violent lives of Lecha's extended familiy, a many-layered narrative unfolds to tell the magnificent, tragic, and unforgettable story of the struggle of native peoples in the Americas to keep, at all costs, the core of their culture: their way of seeing, their way of believing, their way of being.
Download or read book The Circle the Spiral written by Eva Rask Knudsen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Aboriginal and Māori literature, the circle and the spiral are the symbolic metaphors for a never-ending journey of discovery and rediscovery. The journey itself, with its indigenous perspectives and sense of orientation, is the most significant act of cultural recuperation. The present study outlines the fields of indigenous writing in Australia and New Zealand in the crucial period between the mid-1980s and the early 1990s – particularly eventful years in which postcolonial theory attempted to ‘centre the margins’ and indigenous writers were keen to escape the particular centering offered in search of other positions more in tune with their creative sensibilities. Indigenous writing relinquished its narrative preference for social realism in favour of traversing old territory in new spiritual ways; roots converted into routes. Standard postcolonial readings of indigenous texts often overwrite the ‘difference’ they seek to locate because critical orthodoxy predetermines what ‘difference’ can be. Critical evaluations still tend to eclipse the ontological grounds of Aboriginal and Māori traditions and specific ways of moving through and behaving in cultural landscapes and social contexts. Hence the corrective applied in Circles and Spirals – to look for locally and culturally specific tracks and traces that lead in other directions than those catalogued by postcolonial convention. This agenda is pursued by means of searching enquiries into the historical, anthropological, political and cultural determinants of the present state of Aboriginal and Māori writing (principally fiction). Independent yet interrelated exemplary analyses of works by Keri Hulme and Patricia Grace and Mudrooroo and Sam Watson (Australia) provided the ‘thick description’ that illuminates the author’s central theses, with comparative side-glances at Witi Ihimaera, Heretaunga Pat Baker and Alan Duff (New Zealand) and Archie Weller and Sally Morgan (Australia).
