Book Launch | Unsettled Bliss by Elizabeth Ann Cook
Scorpio Books and Mary Egan Publishing warmly invite you to the Ōtautahi Christchurch launch of 'Unsettled Bliss: whiteness in Aotearoa' by Elizabeth Ann Cook. This powerful new book confronts whiteness in Aotearoa – its history, its consequences, and the responsibilities it demands. All welcome, refreshments provided. RSVP to: https://scorpiobooks.co.nz/eve...
f you do not know the history of Aotearoa after the 1835 Declaration of Independence and Te Tiriti o Waitangi 1840, Unsettled Bliss offers a clear explanation of settler occupation, its impact on indigenous land in Aotearoa, and the lasting consequences. However, it goes beyond that. This book enables you to understand what drove people to act as they did – and what continues to shape our society today.
Currently working as a Reporting and Policy Advisor in a kaupapa Māori organisation, Dr Elizabeth Ann Cook remains committed to asking difficult questions, pushing boundaries, and sparking conversations that challenge the status quo.
