Reviews

This is an absorbing historical narrative with bigger and bolder political and ethical arguments. The book is engagingly written and a worthy successor to Salmond’s Two Worlds and Between Worlds, from which it picks up chronologically, as well as to more recent works on Cook and Bligh."" – Nicholas Thomas, University of Cambridge

""This... was an absolute joy to read. It engages in highly relevant and topical issues for all of us as New Zealanders. By anchoring our colonial history in contemporary issues of sovereignty and property, it has the potential to be a landmark book for Aotearoa New Zealand."" – Jacinta Ruru, University of Otago and Nga Pae o te Maramatanga
