Webs of Empire
Locating New Zealands Colonial Past Tony Ballantyne
RRP$49.99 Publication: Nov 2012 ISBN 9781927131435 ISTC A0220120000214F3 376 pages 240 x 170 mm History
Over the last decade Tony Ballantyne has driven forward a new vision of colonial history... Alan Lester, Professor of Historical Geography, University of Sussex Spread across the nineteenth-century colonial world was a tangled web of cultural and economic networks. In ground-breaking research, Tony Ballantyne positions New Zealand within these webs of empire, connecting Gore and Chicago, Mori and Asia, India and newspapers, whalers and writing. These essays break open the narrative of colonisation to offer sharp new perspectives on New Zealand history. Professor of History at the University of Otago, Tony Ballantyne includes Orientalism and Race (2002), Between Colonialism and Diaspora (2006), and Disputed Histories: Imagining New Zealands Pasts (co-editor, 2006) amongst his publications.
Emerging from diaries, letters and memoirs, the voices of this charming narrative tell of new life arriving amidst a turbulent world. Women in the nineteenth century gave birth in widely varying circumstances: Mori women of noble families might be lovingly cared for within the whare khanga; wealthy colonial wives employed doctors and monthly nurses; rural women relied on local midwives and neighbours to deliver their babies. The poor or unmarried might need to turn to charitable institutions for support. These very different histories from the years before the Plunket Society, safe Caesarean sections, and registered midwives are brought together for the first time. Alison Clarke trained as a nurse before turning to history. Her PhD was published as Holiday Seasons (2007), and she has continued to research aspects of social and religious history of nineteenth-century New Zealand.

A staggering rise in wealth disparity has transformed New Zealand from one of the developed worlds most equal nations to one of the most unequal.

In 1853 Catherine McLeod and her family abandoned their small croft on the coast of Scotland and sailed for Tasmania. In 1884 Charles Murray left Aberdeenshire to become a missionary in the Pacific. In Migrations, Rod Edmond follows the journeys of these two greatgrandparents, from a cluster of ruined crofts to the village of Ambrym, arriving finally in New Zealand.

Rod Edmond taught postcolonial history and literature at the University of Kent for many years; his publications include Representing the South Pacific: Colonial Discourse from Cook to Gauguin (1997), joint winner of the Trevor Reese Memorial Prize for Imperial History.

Redemption Songs
A Life of Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki Judith Binney
RRP$89.99 Reprint: January 2013 ISBN 9781927131480 ISTC A0220120000212B5 676 pages 260 x 185 mm Hardback 190 illustrations First published 1995 Winner of the Montana Book of the Year Award 1996
Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki was one of the nineteenth centurys most significant leaders. In both war and peace, he sought to redeem his people and the land. Yet his reputation as a feared opponent of colonial forces obscured his achievements for generations. The causes of Te Kootis struggles are larger than personal injustice: he fought a war against land confiscation and illegal land purchases. This award-winning biography, published in 1995, shifted public perceptions of this remarkable man. Dame Judith Binney was honoured widely for her contribution to New Zealand history. Her particular place in the writing of Urewera history was recognised by Thoe leaders when she was given the name Te Tomairangi o Te Aroha. A Fellow of the Royal Society, she received the Prime Ministers Award for Literary Achievement in Non-Fiction in 2006.
Encircled Lands
Te Urewera, 18201921 Judith Binney
RRP$89.99 Published: 2009 ISBN 9781877242441 ISTC A022012000021121 624 pages 260 x 185 mm Hardback 277 illustrations Full colour throughout Winner of the New Zealand Post Book of the Year 2010
For Europeans during the nineteenth century, the Urewera was a remote wilderness; for those who lived there, it was a sheltering heartland. This history documents the first hundred years of the Rohe Ptae (the encircled lands of the Urewera) following European contact. After large areas of land were lost, the Urewera became for a brief period an autonomous district, governed by its own leaders. But in 192122, the Urewera District Native Reserve was abolished in law. Its very existence became largely forgotten except in local memory. Recovering this history from a wealth of contemporary documents, many written by Urewera leaders, Encircled Lands contextualises Thoes quest for a constitutional agreement that restores their authority in their lands.
Digital Strategy
Taking BWB digital has been a stirring challenge. The BWB list draws on the intellectual property of Bridget Williams publishing from the 1980s to the present, with awardwinning books from the imprints of Port Nicholson Press and AUP/BWB joining those published from the last two decades under the BWB imprint. These are books of critical scholarship produced for a wide range of readers; they are referenced, indexed, often richly illustrated, and always produced to exacting standards. Taking this wonderful body of knowledge into a digital future opens new pathways to the people, places and histories that have helped shape modern New Zealand. We are excited to begin our e-book releases starting in December 2012, with more to come throughout 2013. BWBs first e-books will be available through a growing range of retailers in New Zealand and abroad, including eBooks.com, Amazon, Kobo Books and local affiliates. We see New Zealand bookshops as particularly important, helping readers discover quality e-books amidst a new and sometimes bewildering world of reading. Our advanced in-house digital workflow, powered by Infogrid Pacific, ensures availability in a complete range of formats. Carefully proofed and individually crafted, with a commitment to full illustrations our e-books are built to last. This attention to detail is reflected in our new e-book covers, designed by Neil Pardington at Base Two. Optimised for online shopfronts, they embody how our e-books are developed on their own terms, not as an afterthought to print. All future printed books will also be released as e-books, in addition to e-chapters from selected titles, starting with The New Zealand Pregnancy Book. Digital publishing offers more than e-books, of course. The newly re-launched website www.bwb.co.nz is now a resource itself. Integration with Google Books allows readers to search across the chapter content of all BWB books, identifying new themes and patterns. Rich and innovative metadata (information about the books) will help overseas readers discover BWB and our stories. Similarly, BWB e-Reviews broaden our marketing, allowing scholars and media instantaneous access to our books, anywhere in the world. New microsites for The New Zealand Pregnancy Book (www.nzpregnancybook.co.nz) and the BWB Publishing Trust (www.bwbpublishingtrust.org.nz) have been built, together with the main site, using open-source software. Print-on-demand is arriving for selected titles in early 2013; please contact us for more information. BWB is a firm supporter of libraries in the digital age. Our digital lending programme uses a range of distributors to ensure access for libraries across the school, tertiary and public sectors. We will continue to explore, with libraries, other pathways into our digital collections. Long-term preservation of all e-books, using industry-leading archiving, helps to ensure that BWBs works will persist for successive generations of students, scholars and general readers. As we move into a hybrid world of print and digital publishing, BWB now has the agility to meet the diverse preferences of todays readers. Our new digital infrastructure means we can focus on what BWB has always done best: far-sighted and influential publishing, whatever the format. Tom Rennie

These lively essays edited by Barbara Brookes bring together historical research and social analysis to examine many aspects of the New Zealand home work, domesticity, leisure, style and even the development of national culture.
