Hailed as an accessible introduction to decolonisation, this short book – part of the BWB Texts series – has met with awards and sustained interest since publication. Over 10,000 copies of Imagining Decolonisation have now been sold through bookstores across Aotearoa.
Authors Bianca Elkington, Rebecca Kiddle, Ocean Ripeka Mercier, Mike Ross, Jennie Smeaton and Amanda Thomas acknowledge the ongoing response from readers and the lasting words of co-author Moana Jackson:
‘This little book seems to have a life of its own. We're humbled that people have chosen to buy it but in many ways, these words aren't ours, rather, we have just been the vehicle that pulls together the words of many. We hope we have contributed to normalising the possibility of decolonisation for wider Aotearoa New Zealand. Thank you.
Nō te aranga o Matariki ki te pae, ka tangihia tō ingoa e Moana, haere! Kua whetūrangitia koe ki te poho o Ranginui. E okioki atu ai.’
