Reviews
Bob’s Book Blog ~ This is one of the most meaningful books written about the influence that protest movements have had in shaping New Zealand as it is today. It is short, it is all encompassing, it is well documented and it directs readers to other sources of information particular that which is online.
MP Chlöe Swarbrick ~ “An accessible and brilliantly told account of the history of protest in Aotearoa, and the ways in which it has come to shape us. From early examples to the modern day, Hager unwinds the tales of political, economic, and environmental resistance in our DNA.”
NZ Booklovers ~ Mandy Hager is a force of a writer. Her eloquence and her turn of phrase sets her apart from so many other writers for younger people. Over the years she has really made so many elements of the curriculum more accessible for students and Protest! Shaping Aotearoa is certainly no different. Not that this is specifically aimed at students – it’s not – but I can imagine that many history and social studies teachers will be clamoring over each other to begin using this with the new curriculum coming in.
Mandy writes about the concept of protesting for Stuff.
