2 I NEW BOOKS HUDSON & HALLS JOANNE DRAYTON The food of love

Hudson & Halls: The food of love is more than just a love story, though a love story it certainly is. It is a tale of two television chefs who helped change the bedrock bad attitudes of a nation in the 1970s and 80s to that unspoken thing – homosexuality. Peter Hudson and David Halls became reluctant role models for a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ generation of gay men and women who lived by omission. They were also captains of a culinary revolution that saw the overthrow of Aunty Daisy and the beginnings of Pacific- rich, Asian-styled international cuisine. Their drinking, bitching and bickering on screen, and their spontaneous unchoreographed movements across the stage left cameras and startled production staff exposed, broke taboos and melted formalities. They captivated an unlikely bunch of viewers, from middle-aged matrons to bush-shirted blokes. Hudson and Halls were pioneers of celebrity television as we know it today: the naughty, not-quite-normal boys next door who rocketed to stardom on untrained talent and a dream. When Peter Hudson became ill with prostate cancer, David Halls was inconsolable. What remained unchanged through it all was their abiding love for each other. In this riveting, fast-paced and meticulously researched book, New York Times bestselling author Joanne Drayton celebrates the legacy of this unforgettable duo.

There is so much in this terrific book I knew little about. – PETER GORDON, chef

4 I NEW BOOKS TO THE MOUNTAINS SELECTED BY LAURENCE FEARNLEY A collection of New Zealand alpine writing AND PAUL HERSEY

A schoolgirl races from class to join a weekend trip to the hills. A mountaineering guide recalls his first weeks on the job during the 1920s. A young climber is shown the best route over the Main Divide by a big bull thar. A climbing party is bombarded by falling rock when Ruapehu suddenly erupts. A mountaineer pays tribute to the Māori guides from south Westland, while a fighter pilot tries to recapture an ascent of the Minarets from his tent in Nigeria during World War II. From the Darrans of Fiordland to Denali in Alaska, New Zealand climbers, both experienced and recreational, have captured their alpine experience in letters, journals, articles, memoirs, poems and novels. Drawing on 150 years of published and unpublished material, Laurence Fearnley and Paul Hersey, two top contemporary authors, have compiled a wide-ranging, fascinating and moving glimpse into New Zealand’s mountaineering culture and the people who write about it.

LAURENCE FEARNLEY is an award-winning novelist and non-fiction writer based in Dunedin. The Hut Builder won the fiction category of the 2011 NZ Post Book Awards and was shortlisted for the 2010 Boardman Tasker Prize for mountain writing.

NEW BOOKS I 5 MARGARET POINTER NIUE AND THE GREAT WAR

The story of tiny Niue’s involvement in the Great War has captivated people since an account was first published by Margaret Pointer in 2000. In 1915, 160 Niuean men joined the New Zealand Expeditionary Force as part of the 3rd Maori Reinforcements and set sail to Auckland and then Egypt and France. Most had never left the island before, or worn shoes before. Most spoke no English, and significantly, they had no immunity to European disease. Within three months of leaving New Zealand, over 80 per cent of them had been hospitalised and the army authorities withdrew them. Margaret Pointer became involved in research to trace the lost story of Niue’s involvement in World War I while living on the island in the 1990s. The resulting book, Tagi Tote e Loto Haaku: My Heart is Crying a Little, was published in 2000. Her research has continued since, and Niue and the Great War contains much new material together with new photographs. This moving story has now been set in a wider Pacific context and also considers the contribution made by colonial troops, especially ‘coloured’ ones, to the Allied effort.

MARGARET POINTER is a graduate in history from Victoria University of Wellington and for many years taught at secondary school level. In 2015 Otago University Press published her Niue 1774–1974: 200 years of contact and change. Margaret lives in Wellington and visits Niue frequently.

6 I NEW BOOKS SEE NO EVIL MAIRE LEADBEATER New Zealand’s betrayal of the people of West Papua

See No Evil issues a challenge to New Zealanders. The book begins by relating the little- known history of West Papua, but its focus is on the impact of New Zealand’s foreign policy on the indigenous Melanesian inhabitants. In the 1950s New Zealand supported self-determination for the former Dutch colony, but in 1962 opted to back Indonesia as it took over the territory. Delving deep into historical government archives, many of them obtained under the Official Information Act, this meticulously researched book uncovers the untold story of New Zealand’s unprincipled and often hypocritical diplomacy. The consequences of repressive Indonesian rule have been tragic for the West Papuan people, who are experiencing ‘slow genocide’. West Papua remains largely closed to foreign journalists, but its story is now beginning to be heard. A growing number of Pacific Island nations are calling for change, but so far New Zealand has opted for caution and collusion to preserve a ‘business as usual’ relationship with Indonesia. See No Evil is a shocking account by one of New Zealand’s most respected authors on peace and Pacific matters, issuing a powerful call for a just and permanent solution – self- determination – for the people of West Papua.

MAIRE LEADBEATER grew up in a politically active family, where campaigning for peace and many other causes came with the territory. A former Auckland city and regional councillor, she spent her working life as a social worker, but is now retired and finding more time for writing and for activism. For the past 25 years Maire has campaigned for freedom for East Timor and West Papua. In 2017 she was awarded the Order of Timor-Leste by the Paperback, full colour Timorese government. Her previous books are Negligent Neighbour: New Zealand’s collusion 240 x 170mm, 310pp with the invasion and occupation of Timor Leste (Craig Potton Publishing, 2006) and Peace, ISBN 978-1-98-853121-2, $49.95 Power and Politics: How New Zealand became nuclear free (Otago University Press, 2013). In print Maire has two adult children and five grandchildren.

NEW BOOKS I 7 PETER HOAR THE WORLD’S DIN Listening to records, radio and films in New Zealand, 1880–1940

New Zealanders started hearing things in new ways when new audio technologies arrived from overseas in the late 19th century. From the first public demonstration of a phonograph in a Blenheim hall in 1879, people were exposed to a succession of machines that captured and transmitted sounds – through radio, cinema and recordings. In The World’s Din, Peter Hoar documents the arrival of the first such ‘talking machines’, and their growing place in New Zealanders’ public and private lives, through the years of radio to the dawn of television. In so doing, he chronicles a ‘sonic revolution’ in how New Zealanders heard the world. The change was radical, signifying a defining break from the past. Human experience of the world changed forever during the late 19th and early 20th centuries because we learned to store and replay sounds and moving images. ‘Audio’ since then has been a continued refinement of the original innovation, even in the contemporary era of digital sound, with iPods, streaming audio and Spotify. The World’s Din is a beautifully written account that will delight music-lovers and technophiles everywhere. Without further ado, it is time to crank the gramophone, or tune the wireless, or open the Jaffa box as the cinema lights dim, and hearken to the richness and variety of listening in New Zealand’s past soundscapes.

PETER HOAR has taught radio and media history at Auckland University of Technology for 20 years. Before joining AUT he worked in radio, television and journalism and is also Paperback, illustrations a qualified librarian. His research interests are in the field of sound studies, particularly in 150 x 230mm, 288pp history, listening practices and technology.

8 I NEW BOOKS FLU HUNTER ROBERT G. WEBSTER Unlocking the secrets of a virus

When a new influenza virus emerges that is able to be transmitted between humans, it spreads globally as a pandemic, often with high mortality. Enormous social disruption and substantial economic cost can result. The 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic was undoubtedly the most devastating to date, and it has been Dr Robert Webster’s life’s work to figure out how and why. In so doing he has made a remarkable contribution to our understanding of the evolution of influenza viruses and how to control them. A century on, Flu Hunter is a gripping account of the tenacious scientific detective work involved in revealing the secrets of this killer virus. Dubbed ‘Flu Hunter’ by Smithsonian Magazine in 2006, Dr Webster began his research in the early 1960s with the insight that the natural ecology of most influenza viruses is among wild aquatic birds. Painstaking tracking and testing of thousands of birds eventually led him and the other scientists involved to establish a link between these bird virus ‘reservoirs’ and human influenza pandemics. Some of this fascinating scientific work involved exhuming bodies of Spanish flu victims from the Arctic permafrost in a search for tissue samples containing genetic material from the virus. Could a global influenza pandemic occur again? Webster’s warning is clear: ‘... it is not only possible, it is just a matter of when.’ Flu Hunter chronicles the career of an outstanding global scientific leader. It … will appeal equally to students and scientists familiar with the field, and lay readers. I heartily commend it to all. – ­LANCE C.

NEW BOOKS I 9 PETER SIMPSON EDITOR CHARLES BRASCH JOURNALS 1958–1973 Selected and introduced by Peter Simpson

This third and final volume of Charles Brasch’s compelling private journals covers the years from when he was 48 to his death at 64. By the 1960s, Brasch was a reluctant public figure – as editor of Landfall, as a highly regarded poet, and as an art collector, patron and benefactor. The Burns, Hodgkins and Mozart Fellowships – for writers, artists and composers respectively – which he helped anonymously to found and fund, all began in this period. Among his friends Brasch counted most of the country’s leading artists, writers and intellectuals, and his lively and sometimes acerbic accounts of such people are a fascinating aspect of his journals. Behind the public intellectual, however, was a sensitive and very private man, who confided to his journals the emotional rollercoaster of his private life, especially his angst- ridden search for love. Presented here are deep attachments to both men and women, including Andrew Packard (a visiting English zoologist) and Margaret Scott, widow of Harry Scott with whom Brasch had also been in love. Late in life his friendship with an elderly Jewish émigrée, Moli Zisserman, adds another surprising layer to the complex and lovable man his journals reveal. Brasch’s journals will change forever the understanding of an outstanding New Zealander and of the era to which he contributed so much.

10 I NEW BOOKS FILMING THE COLONIAL PAST ANNABEL COOPER The New Zealand Wars on screen

The New Zealand Wars were defining events in the nation’s history. Filming the Colonial Past tells a story of filmmakers’ fascination with these conflicts over the past 90 years. From silent screen to smartphone, and from Pākehā adventurers to young Māori songwriters, filmmakers have made and remade the stories of this most troubling past. When Rudall Hayward went to Rotorua, Whakatāne and Te Awamutu to make Rewi’s Last Stand and The Te Kooti Trail, he found that the tangata whenua he relied on for making his films helped shape the stories. By the time of the renewed interest in the New Zealand Filming the Colonial Past Wars in the 1970s and early 80s, thinking about race, nation and empire was undergoing a The New Zealand sea-change. The makers of television drama (including The Governor) and independent film Wars on Screen Annabel Cooper (Geoff Murphy’s Utu) set out actively to engage with Māori advisers and performers. In the late 1980s and 90s, screen industry deregulation brought a new set of challenges. Filming the Colonial Past shows how documentaries – notably the New Zealand Wars series of 1998 – and feature films – negotiated these hurdles.

NEW BOOKS I 11 ALISON CLARKE OTAGO 150 YEARS OF NEW ZEALAND’S FIRST UNIVERSITY

The University of Otago has always taken pride in its status as New Zealand’s first university. Starting a university in 1869 was a bold move: other regions observed Otago’s action with a mixture of surprise, scepticism and envy. The venture paid off: from small beginnings, the university grew into a large institution with local, national and international significance. Like any organisation, the University of Otago has had its good times and its bad times. It has been at some periods and in some ways deeply conservative, and in other ways boldly entrepreneurial. A good history is a critical assessment rather than a public relations exercise, and Alison Clarke has consulted and researched widely to produce a forthright and fascinating account. While traditional institutional histories focus on the achievements of the most senior staff, she has been at pains to write an inclusive history painted on a much broader canvas. This history is arranged thematically, looking at the university’s foundation and administration; the evolving student body; the staff; the changing academic structure and the development of research; the Christchurch and Wellington campuses and the university’s presence in Auckland and Invercargill; key support services – libraries, press, student health and counselling services, disability services, Māori Centre and Pacific Islands Centre; the changing styles of teaching; the university’s built environment; and Hardback, full colour finally, the university’s place in the world – its relationship with the city of Dunedin, its 250 x 190mm, 512pp approx interaction with mana whenua and its importance to New Zealand and to the Pacific. ISBN 978-1-98-853133-5, $50 December 2018 ALISON CLARKE was a nurse until she became sidetracked by history. She completed a PhD at Otago in 2003, and has worked at the Hocken Collections since. Her previous publications include Holiday Seasons: Christmas, New Year and Easter in nineteenth-century New Zealand (2007); A Living Tradition: A centennial history of Knox College, Dunedin (2009); and Born to a Changing World: Childbirth in nineteenth-century New Zealand (2012). She has lived for many years on Otago Peninsula, where she tries not to let the view distract her while writing. 12 I NEW BOOKS 98 OTAGO 150 YEARS OF NEW ZEALAND’S FIRST UNIVERSITY 4 A pLAcE TO LIVE: LODgINgS, cOLLEgES AND FLATS 99

NEW BOOKS I 15 DAVID EGGLETON EDGELAND AND OTHER POEMS

The poetry in David Eggleton’s new collection possesses an intensity and driven energy, using the poet’s recognisable signature oratory voice, strong in beat and measure, rooted in rich traditions of chant, lament and ode. Mashing together the lyrical and the slangy, celebrating local vernaculars while simultaneously plugged in to a global zeitgeist of technobabble and fake news, Eggleton recycles and ‘repurposes’ high visual culture and demotic aural culture. Edgeland offers a tragicomic and surreal skewering of the cons, swindles, posturings and flaws of damaged people on the make, dislocating the reader with high-speed jinks and swerves. A satirical eye interrogates ‘data’, media bilge, opinion, social change, extreme experience, and worst-case-scenario extrapolations. A menagerie of vivid characters burst off the page – including the man who mistook the moon for a candy bar, instigators, prestidigitators, procurators, promulgators, Zorro and Governor Grey – alongside a survey of 35 types of beard, an ode to ooze, metadada, Gordon Ramsay’s pan-sizzled bull’s pizzle, a Baxterian moa, and various other waka jumpers hailing from Jafaville to Jack’s Blowhole. Edgeland is a dazzling display of polychromatic virtuosity, teeming with irrepressible wordplay, startling imagery and anarchic wit, from one of New Zealand’s best-loved poets.

16 I NEW BOOKS POETA CILLA McQUEEN Selected and new poems

Born in 1949, Bluff-based Cilla McQueen is one of New Zealand’s best-loved poets. Poeta: Selected and new poems brings together a definitive selection of her poetry spanning five decades, arranged by the poet in a thematic narrative that elucidates abiding themes while maintaining a loose chronology of her creative life to date. Of mixed Scottish and English heritage, McQueen is a translocated Hebridean, a spokesperson variously for the southern islands and coast, Rakiura, Fiordland, Murihiku and Dunedin. One of a few indispensable poetic voices of the south, she has long been part of a social matrix of artists, among them Hone Tuwhare, Ralph Hotere and Marilynn Webb, dedicated to bringing out the native brogue and colours of Southland–Otago. Poeta gathers together poems from the poet’s 14 previous volumes, punctuated by 11 striking drawings, and also includes a range of new work that shows her riddling creativity continuing to grow and evolve. Collectively, the poems demonstrate a versatile and diligent wordsmith never content to sit on her laurels, ever experimenting and improving in her attempt to write the world’s poem.

Poet, teacher and artist CILLA McQUEEN has published 15 collections, three of which have won the New Zealand Book Award for Poetry. Her most recent work is a poetic memoir, In a Slant Light (OUP, 2016). Other titles from OUP are Markings, Axis, Soundings, Fire-penny, The Radio Room and Edwin’s Egg. In 2008 Cilla received an Hon. Litt.D. from the University of Otago, and was the New Zealand National Library Poet Laureate 2009–11. In 2010 she received the Prime Minister’s Award for Literary Achievement in Poetry.

NEW BOOKS I 17 ALISON GLENNY THE FAREWELL TOURIST

Some afternoons a fog rolled down the hallway. On others, the staircase groaned with moisture. A finger laid carelessly on a bannister dislodged a ledge of rime. She lifted the hem of her dress to avoid the damp in the passageway, wore knitted gloves in the kitchen. She was lying in the bath when the glacier pushed through the wall. She sank deeper into the water to escape the chill that settled on her shoulders. Trying to ignore the white haze, to lose herself between the pages of her book. Pushing against the boundaries of what poetry might be, Alison Glenny’s The Farewell Tourist is haunting, many-layered and slightly surreal. In ‘The Magnetic Process’ sequence, a man and a woman inhabit a polar world, adrift in zones of divergence where dreams are filled with snow, icebergs and sinking ships. Their scientific instruments and observations measure a fragmented and uncertain space where conventional perspectives are violated. In a series of histories – of the Atmosphere, of the Honeymoon – footnotes reference vanished texts. By turns mysterious, ominous and evocative, they represent connections to an obscured narrative of disintegration and icy melancholy. Bill Manhire, judge of the 2018 Kathleen Grattan Poetry Award, has written: There is some beautiful writing, but – though there is sometimes talk of music and musical instruments – the text is not written primarily for the ear. [This work] takes full advantage of the white pages on which the words appear. In particular it plays with ideas of erasure, as if all our Paperback, 230 x 150mm, 80pp words, like any evidence of human presence, can be extinguished by a fresh fall of snow.

She has an MA in Creative Writing from Victoria University of Wellington, a postgraduate certificate in Antarctic WINNER OF THE KATHLEEN GRATTAN Studies from the University of Canterbury, and has taught creative writing at Whitireia New POETRY AWARD 2017 Zealand. Her work has appeared in a number of journals and anthologies, and online.

18 I NEW BOOKS WHISPER OF A CROW’S WING MAJELLA CULLINANE

Published simultaneously in Ireland by Salmon Poetry, Majella Cullinane’s remarkable second collection, Whisper of a Crow’s Wing, is the work of a poet with a distinct and powerful voice. Whisper of a These poems weigh and examine oppositions – the distance of time and place, the balance of life and death, the poet’s New Zealand home and her Irish heritage. Cullinane conjures the Crow’s Wing ghosts that haunt places and objects, our inner and outer world, with rich, physical language: barter the night for the whorl of a wave’s tongue, the relish of brine. Know what it is to untangle light from the tooth of a roving tide. (Invitation) She writes with lyrical intensity about motherhood and family life, including the experience of miscarriage, and the process of moving through grief and loss to a place of Majella Cullinane acceptance and healing. This is a profound collection from a poet alive to the hidden world of memory and imagination, of the sublime in the everyday, tempered always by a shadow of the fragility of life and love. There is an elegance and poise and care in the language of these poems, an unobtrusive mastery and ease in their cadences and rhythms. – VINCENT O’SULLIVAN

Irish-born MAJELLA CULLINANE has lived in New Zealand since 2008. In 2011 she published her first poetry collection, Guarding the Flame, with Salmon Poetry in Ireland.

NEW BOOKS I 19 MICHAEL STEVEN WALKING TO JUTLAND STREET

Walking to Jutland Street is the impressive first book-length collection by up-and-coming Auckland-based poet Michael Steven. The title refers to Dunedin’s industrial wharf precinct where some of the poet’s friends shared a flat in 2010. A poem about friendship in the face of the other, ‘Walking to Jutland Street’ vividly recreates their evening ‘constitutional’ from the flat via the bridge over train tracks to the city and back, with its inebriated, surreal, sometimes nightmarish inhabitants. A poet of gritty, day-to-day urban New Zealand reality (whether depicting teenage drug dealing, alcoholics or the night shelter), Steven is equally a writer steeped in literary tradition, Buddhist mysticism and world-historical narrative. His poetry seeks the allegorical significance of the present moment/event. In this pursuit, his literary cousins are Olds, Orr, Mitchell, Dickson, Johnson and Baxter. Even in tone, intelligent and expressive, Michael Steven’s poetry is all the more effective for its sparing use of vivid imagery. ­– CILLA McQUEEN

MICHAEL STEVEN was born in 1977. His poems, essays and short fiction have appeared in places such as brief, Ika, Landfall, Phantom Billstickers Café Reader and Poetry New Zealand Yearbook. He has worked as an electrician, a stage manager and a bookstore clerk. He lives in West Auckland with his partner and son.

20 I NEW BOOKS THE EXPATRIATE MYTH HELEN BONES New Zealand writers and the colonial world

Many New Zealand writers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries travelled extensively or lived overseas for a time, and they often led very interesting lives. The received wisdom is that they were forced to leave these colonial backblocks in search of literary inspiration and publishing opportunities. In The Expatriate Myth, Helen Bones presents a challenge to this conventional understanding, based on detailed historical and empirical research. Was it actually necessary for them to leave to find success? How prevalent was expatriatism among New Zealand writers? Did their experiences fit the usual tropes about expatriatism and exile? Were they fleeing an oppressive society lacking in literary opportunity? In the field of literary studies, scholars are often consumed with questions about ‘national’ literature and ‘what it means to be a New Zealander’. And yet many of New Zealand’s writers living overseas operated in a transnational way, taking advantage of colonial networks in a way that belies any notion of a single national allegiance. Most who left New Zealand, even if they were away for a time, continued to write about and interact with their homeland, and in many cases came back. In this fascinating and clear-sighted book, Helen Bones offers a fresh perspective on some hoary New Zealand literary chestnuts.

HELEN BONES is a New Zealander living in Australia, where she teaches history and has a research position in digital humanities at Western Sydney University. She has written a number of articles for literary and historical journals, and contributed two chapters to Treasures of the University of Canterbury Library, eds Chris Jones and Bronwyn Matthews Paperback, 150 x 230mm, 242pp (Canterbury University Press, 2011).

NEW BOOKS I 21 BARBARA BROOKES, JANE McCABE PAST CARING? AND ANGELA WANHALLA EDITORS Women, work and emotion

Are women past caring? Care is essential to social relationships and individual well-being. It is woven into New Zealand’s key social institutions, such as the family, and is also embedded in societal expectations around state provision of health and welfare. Care is so vital, in fact, that it is often taken for granted and goes unnoticed and unrewarded. Historical and philosophical enquiry have largely ignored the issue of care, yet it raises profound questions about gender, justice and morality. The essays in this volume raise those questions directly – at the level of abstraction where prominent New Zealand women philosophers grappled with the political implications, and on the ground at the level of family relationships. Understanding the history of care requires attention to personal narratives, such as a Māori grandmother’s story, a Rarotongan leader’s concept of duty to her people, or the sense of service that drove a long-term social worker. Memories of childhood night- time care are carried across the ocean from North East India. The depiction of sole-carer mothers in New Zealand film suggests a ‘caring’ alternative to the celebrated concept of ‘man alone’. The case studies examined focus on the everyday nature of care operating across domestic, institutional and political spaces, and build upon areas of strength in women’s history with its interest in family, motherhood, health, welfare, education and employment. The foundations of Past Caring? lie with Making Women Visible, a national conference on women’s history held at the University of Otago in February 2016. This important volume opens up a set of perspectives and experiences of caring to begin a conversation Paperback with flaps, about urgent questions facing New Zealand society.

22 I NEW BOOKS BETWEEN LAB AND KITCHEN DIANA BROWN The unconventional career of Dr Muriel Bell

Whether or not you have heard of pioneering nutritionist Muriel Bell, she has had a profound effect on your health. Appointed New Zealand’s first state nutritionist in 1940, a position she held for almost a quarter-century, Muriel Bell was behind ground-breaking public health schemes such as milk in schools, iodised salt and water fluoridation. Her pioneering research on vitamins and minerals worked to prevent deficiency diseases in children, and her work on fats and cholesterol led to interventions to prevent coronary heart disease. As a scientist, Bell was committed to evidence-based investigation, and at the base of her commitment to science lay a deep social concern, especially for women and children. In service to this cause she worked tirelessly. As a lecturer in physiology from 1923 to 1927, Muriel Bell had been one of the first women academics at Otago Medical School. In 1937 she became a foundation member of the Medical Research Council, serving for two decades while simultaneously she was the sole woman on the Board of Health. Her nutritional advice – common sense to us today but revolutionary at the time – was to eat more fruit and vegetables and to cut down on sugar, fat and meat. Muriel Bell was a trailblazer by anyone’s definition, but her devotion to the cause came at great personal cost, as Diana Brown relates in this long-overdue biography.

DIANA BROWN graduated with an MA in History with Distinction from Otago University in 2006, and was awarded a grant by the New Zealand History Research Trust Fund to write this book. She has lived overseas since 2008, working at writing, teaching and curriculum development, editing and translation. She speaks several European languages.

NEW BOOKS I 23 R.J. (JO) BUNCE SLIPPERY JIM James Macandrew of Otago

This is the biography of one of New Zealand’s most colourful and persuasive politicians. When James Macandrew arrived in Dunedin from Scotland in 1851, other settlers were impressed by his energy and enthusiasm for new initiatives. With his finger in a lot of commercial pies, he set about making himself a handsome income which he eventually lost, declaring himself bankrupt and ending up in debtors’ prison. Politics became another enterprise at which Macandrew threw himself with a passion. He was a member of the Otago Provincial Council for 10 years, during which time he held almost all the elected positions in that body. He was Superintendent of Otago for a further decade, and at the same time he was a member of parliament for 29 years. This is the warts-and-all story of a Victorian settler who was a devoted family man, a staunch Presbyterian and a consummate politician. It examines the numerous local events that benefited from Macandrew’s touch – including the University of Otago, the Art School (now Otago Polytechnic School of Art), the Normal School (later the College of Education) – along with his contributions to the building of roads, railways, ports, harbours, schools and churches. Macandrew made plenty of enemies along the way, and has been severely judged by history. This re-examination of his life and political work reveals a man who both inspired and infuriated the citizens of Otago, and New Zealand, for almost four decades.

How does a city make a writer? Described by Fiona Kidman as a ‘ravishing, immersing read’, A Strange Beautiful Excitement is a ‘wild ride’ through the Wellington of Katherine Mansfield’s childhood. From the grubby, wind-blasted streets of Thorndon to the hushed green valley of Karori, author Redmer Yska, himself raised in Karori, retraces Mansfield’s old ground: the sights, sounds and smells of the rickety colonial capital, as experienced by the budding writer. Along the way his encounters and dogged research – into her Beauchamp ancestry, the social landscape, the festering, deadly surroundings – lead him (and us) to reevaluate long- held conclusions about the writer’s shaping years. They also lead to a thrilling discovery – a short story previously unknown to Mansfield scholars, written when Mansfield was aged 11. The story is printed in full herein. This haunting and beautifully vivid book combines fact and fiction, biography and memoir, as Yska rediscovers Mansfield’s Wellington, unearthing her childhood as he goes, shining a new lamp on old territory.

In 1966 Michael Illingworth, whose oil painting Adam and Eve appears on the front cover of this book, was awarded the inaugural Frances Hodgkins Fellowship. For the first time in New Zealand a practising artist was given a studio and paid a salary to make art for a whole year. Such support, as Frances Hodgkins herself wrote from her own experience, was capable of ‘yielding up riches – undreamed of’. Fifty years later, the fellowship is still going strong. This sumptuous book brings together the art and the stories of half a century of Frances Hodgkins fellows. Arts commentator Priscilla Pitts writes about their work, while journalist Andrea Hotere interviews the artists about their lives and sources of inspiration. The result is a vibrant celebration of the talent fostered through New Zealand’s foremost visual arts residency.

RECENTNEW BOOKS I 27 JONATHAN WEST THE FACE OF NATURE An environmental history of the Otago Peninsula

Bounded by the wild waves of the Pacific on the east, and the more sheltered harbour on the west, the Otago Peninsula is a remarkable landscape that has undergone dramatic changes since it first attracted human settlement. In The Face of Nature: An environmental history of the Otago Peninsula Jonathan West explores what people and place made of one another from the arrival of the first Polynesians until the end of the nineteenth century. The Peninsula has always been one of the places in Otago most important to Māori. In 1844 they reluctantly agreed to split it with the British, but the land Māori retained has remained at the core of their history in the region. The British settlers divided their part of the Peninsula into small farms whose owners transformed it from native forest into cow country that fed a booming Dunedin – at that point New Zealand’s leading commercial city. This rigorously researched, beautifully illustrated local history documents the rapid environmental change that ensued. It incorporates a rich array of maps, paintings and photographs to illustrate the making – and unmaking – of this unique landscape. In doing so it illustrates why the Otago Peninsula is an ideal location through which to understand the larger environmental history of these islands. Balanced more equitably between Māori and Pākehā sources than any other major work on the area, this book is an important contribution to New Zealand’s environmental history. – ATHOLL ANDERSON, Emeritus Professor, ANU Paperback with flaps, full colour JONATHAN WEST was born and raised in and around Dunedin.

28 I NEWRECENT BOOKS BOOKS DISOBEDIENT TEACHING WELBY INGS Surviving and creating change in education

This book is about disobedience. Positive disobedience. Disobedience as a kind of professional behaviour. It shows how teachers can survive and even influence an education system that does staggering damage to potential. More importantly it is an arm around the shoulder of disobedient teachers who transform people’s lives, not by climbing promotion ladders but by operating at the grassroots. Disobedient Teaching tells stories from the chalk face. Some are funny and some are heartbreaking, but they all happened in New Zealand schools. This book says you can reform things in a system that has become obsessed with assessment and tick-box reporting. It shows how the essence of what makes a great teacher is the ability to change educational practices that have been shaped by anxiety, ritual and convention. Disobedient Teaching argues the transformative power of teachers who think and act. Disobedient Teaching is a profoundly moving book. It speaks to the very heart of teaching practice: how and why we as teachers relate to others. It puts a spotlight on what we hope to achieve, and how we go about achieving it. – GRANT REID, Education Aotearoa

When Dr Ron Jones joined the staff of National Women’s Hospital in Auckland in 1973 as a junior obstetrician and gynaecologist, Professor Herbert Green’s study into the natural history of carcinoma in-situ of the cervix (CIS) – later called ‘the unfortunate experiment’ – had been in progress for seven years. By the mid-1960s there was almost universal agreement among gynaecologists and pathologists worldwide that CIS was a precursor of cancer, requiring complete removal. Green, however, believed otherwise, and embarked on a study of women with CIS, without their consent, that involved merely observing, rather than definitively treating them. Many women subsequently developed cancer and some died. In 1984 Jones and senior colleagues Dr Bill McIndoe and Dr Jock McLean published a scientific paper that exposed the truth, and the disastrous outcome of Green’s experiment. In a public inquiry in 1987 Judge Silvia Cartwright observed that an unethical experiment had been carried out in large numbers of women for over 20 years. Ron Jones tells his personal story: a story of the unnecessary suffering of countless women, a story of professional arrogance and misplaced loyalties, and a story of doctors in denial of the truth. Meticulously referenced, engagingly honest and a rewarding read. – RAE VARCOE, New Zealand Books

A poem is a vote. It chooses freedom of imagination, freedom of critical thought, freedom of speech. A collection of political poems in its very essence argues for the power of the democratic voice. Here New Zealand poets from diverse cultures, young and old, new and seasoned, from the Bay of Islands to Bluff, rally for justice on everything from a degraded environment to systemically embedded poverty; from the long, painful legacy of colonialism to explosive issues of sexual consent. Communally these writers show that political poems can be the most vivid and eloquent calls for empathy, for action and revolution, even for a simple calling to account.

PHILIP TEMPLE is an award-winning author of fiction and non-fiction, often on subjects associated with New Zealand history and the natural world. He also won an award for his influential writing on electoral reform during the 1992–93 MMP campaign.
