Scorpio Books and Totara Press warmly invite you to join us for an author talk. An Uncommon Land: From an Ancestral Past of Enclosure Towards a Regenerative Future by Catherine Knight is out now. The author will be in-store for one night only to discuss her latest publication with Dr Paul Dalziel of Wellbeing Economy Alliance Aotearoa.

An Uncommon Land is a story of enclosure, dispossession, colonisation and – ultimately – hope for a better future. Through the lens of her ancestors’ stories, Catherine Knight throws light on the genesis and evolution of the commons, its erosion through enclosure and the ascendency of private property in parallel with the rise of capitalism – a history that has indelibly shaped New Zealand society and its landscape.

Tuesday 12 August, 5.30pm for a 6pm start at Scorpio Books, 120 Hereford Street, Five Lanes at the BNZ Centre
