Resistance An Indigenous Response to Neoliberalism
Resistance: An Indigenous Response to Neoliberalism
"Three years after the Hikoi protest against the Foreshore and Seabed Act, Huia launches Resistance: An Indigenous Response to Neoliberalism. "Edited by Dr Maria Bargh, this collection of papers from Maori academics, activists and leaders is unique in highlighting the connection between globally dominant practices of neoliberalism and a diverse range of Maori resistance against them. " "Policies which put the market first are neoliberal ones and impact negatively on us. But in the face of it all, Maori resistance is ongoing and vibrant and this book shows that" says Dr Bargh. "Moana Jackson, Cherryl Smith, Maui Solomon, Annette Sykes, Claire Charters, Alice Te Punga Somerville, Bridget Robson and Teanau Tuiono speak candidly of their experiences, national and international, that are often invisible in current debates on globalisation." - Read more at http://www.huia.co.nz/?p=279. Launched by Tariana Turia on 1 May 2007 in Wellington, Tariana's launch speech 'Raise your spirit higher: Acts of Resistance' is available online here. More information about the book
