Best of E-Tangata, Volume 2
Description
A thought-provoking set of Maori, Pasifika, and tangata Tiriti writers combine in this celebration of some of the best writing from E-Tangata. Traverse a landscape of contemporary and historical issues through the lens of a mother's loss, a man's hard-won expertise, a homesick student abroad and with the knowledge that all good things begin with ten guitars. These writings exemplify that grief and hope go hand-in-hand in the pursuit of justice and the reclaiming of identities in Aotearoa and the Pacific.

Merata Mita grew up in the Bay of Plenty town of Maketu, "the eldest daughter and third child of nine children". She had a traditional rural Māori upbringing, and was expected to miss school come planting time. "I always had this quiet fulfilling feeling about being part of Ngāti Pikiao." Sometimes she watched newsreels as they were projected onto the walls of the local wharenui. Unsure what to do for a career, she began eight years teaching, at age 19.
