Alan Duff has selected 56 Maori, who are high-achieving, talented and inspiring. They have all achieved in their chosen fields, often against the odds, and many of them have gained world-wide recognition. Some are them are household names, for example Kiri Te Kanawa, Sir Howard Morrison and Zinzan Brooke, and others are less well-known. About half of them are current heroes and the others come from history. Each 'hero' is described in a populist, easy-to-read fashion, and the book is colourful and highly illustrated. For the first time ever, this book provides a reference book so that young Maori have inspiring role models to look up to, and so that other New Zealanders can learn about these heroes, often unsung, who have contributed so much to our country.

Once Were Warriors is Alan Duff's harrowing vision of his country's indigenous people two hundred years after the English conquest. In prose that is both raw and compelling, it tells the story of Beth Heke, a Maori woman struggling to keep her family from falling apart, despite the squalor and violence of the housing projects in which they live. Conveying both the rich textures of Maori tradition and the wounds left by its absence, Once Were Warriors is a masterpiece of unblinking realism, irresistible energy, and great sorrow.

A fresh, personal account of New Zealand, now, from one of our hardest-hitting writers. Following Once Were Warriors, Alan Duff wrote Maori: The Crisis and the Challenge. His controversial comments shook the country. A quarter of a century later, New Zealand and Maoridom are in a very different place. And so is Alan – he has published many more books, had two films made of his works, founded the Duffy Books in Homes literacy programme and endured ‘some less inspiring moments, including bankruptcy’. Returned from living in France, he views his country with fresh eyes, as it is now: homing in on the crises in parenting, our prisons, education and welfare systems, and a growing culture of entitlement that entraps Pakeha and Maori alike. Never one to shy away from being a whetstone on which others can sharpen their own opinions, Alan tells it how he sees it.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The internet meme about an audio experiment that played a single word to test subjects is an example of a perceptually ambiguous stimulus that can be seen in two ways. #2 I have had a conversation with this country for about 30 years. I have written many books, which have polarized people, but I continue to explore ideas and provoke discussion. The alternative is to do nothing and let chaos and anarchy rule. #3 I had moved to Waipukurau in Central Hawke’s Bay following my wife’s appointment to head a hospital center for the disabled. I had quit smoking, set up a Chinese takeaway shop, and was determined to write and get my first novel published. #4 I began to write the book in 1989, and it took me twelve drafts to complete. The book was about an all-too-typical Maori family, the Hekes, ruled by the iron fists of a drunken father, Jake The Muss. Jake had voluntarily tossed in his job and gone on welfare because he figured he got only $17 a week less than he did in employment.

In 1990 unknown Maori author Alan Duff suddenly became both famous and notorious in New Zealand for his first novel Once Were Warriors. The violent story of a poor urban Maori family aroused much controversy in New Zealand society, and the Maori community in particular. Many Maori commentators condemned the novel for its negative and allegedly racist portrayal of the indigenous Maori people, accusing Duff for hanging out the dirty linen and blaming the victim. Four years later, the homonymous film by Maori director Lee Tamahori led to similar fame and controversy. On the one hand, critics strongly disapproved of the commercial indigenous film on social, political and aesthetic grounds. On the other hand however, Once Were Warriors became the most successful motion picture in the history of New Zealand cinema, grossing over 6.7 million NZ dollars in the national box office and reaching a large international audience. Once Were Warriors was not just a novel or film, but a powerful cultural representation which had a significant impact on New Zealand society. In this richly illustrated book Emiel Martens examines the impact of Once Were Warriors in Aotearoa New Zealand by exploring the two cultural representations (with a specific emphasis on the film) and their aftermath in postcolonial New Zealand society: Why did Once Were Warriors cause such a controversy within the Maori community? Which were the underlying metaphors of the public debate on both the novel and the film in New Zealand society? And what did the heated reception of Once Were Warriors say about the position and identity of the indigenous Maori people within modern New Zealand? Bringing together a wide variety of popular and academic texts, the author discusses these urgent questions in relation to timely New Zealand and wider postcolonial issues such as racial stereotypes, cultural politics, ethnic relations, indigenous media and Maori identity. As an interdisciplinary Cultural Studies endeavour, this book is surprisingly accessible and will prove interesting reading for anyone who wishes to know more about cultural identity, postcolonial representation and indigenous filmmaking in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Jimmy understands all about belonging and not belonging.

I am torn yet I am more whole since I am both...'He is part of a fractured family, and it's only when he learns about his forebear - a brave warrior who became an outcast from his tribe - that he begins to understand the darker implications of his heritage.

From the author of the best-selling Once Were Warriors, a powerful story of love between father and son, of contrasting ways of looking at the world and of revenge. When Johno comes out of prison, he resolves never to go back again. But his new life is not easy, especially as he soon finds himself in sole charge of his strange young son, Danny. Danny isn't the kind of son he would have chosen, but, in caring for the boy, Johno finds new meaning and new direction. But what do you do when the world you've so carefully built comes crashing down? Can you ever escape your past? This is a return to the world of criminals and violence that Alan has written about so effectively in the past, but it is also a touching exploration of the relationship between father and son.

A compelling novel with an unexpected revelation that throws a powerful punch. Yank is an ordinary enough teenager, except that he lives in a thermal wonderland (frequented by tourists eager to view the geysers and boiling mud) and except for the fact that one of those tourists (an American soldier visiting during the Second World War) was his father. The locals gave the boy the nickname of Yank, a name that makes him different and ensures his mother’s husband will never accept him as his own. So who was Yank’s real father? Yank has only his dreams to fill the void, until the day a letter arrives . . .
