Book Launch | Unsettled Bliss by Elizabeth Ann Cook
Date:Wednesday, 21 May 2025
Time:17:30
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. If 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. Thursday 22nd May, 5.30pm for a 6pm start at Scorpio Books, 120 Hereford Street, Five Lanes at the BNZ Centre. Free event – register here: https://tinyurl.com/ ScorpioBooksRSVP
