A special launch for 'The Welcome of Strangers' at the National Library!

It was a full house at the National Library for the launch of Atholl Anderson's new book The Welcome of Strangers!

Warm thanks to our speakers – Hinerangi Apanui-Barr, Helen Brown and Charlotte Macdonald – as well as Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, the National Library, the Royal Society Te Apārangi and everyone who joined us in celebration.

The Welcome of Strangers is co-published with Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and available now in your local bookshop and direct from our website. A BWB Talks video recording will be available soon.
