Leonard Bell
From journeys through various
countries to New Zealand’s transfor-
mation in the last half century, this
is a riveting and comprehensive look
at the work of photographer Marti
Friedlander. Showing how this dis-
tinguished artist has not only
recorded the places, events, and per-
sonalities of recent history, this
engaging study also demonstrates
how she brings subjectivity, empa-
thy, and a distinctive eye to her subjects. Beginning with her
arrival in New Zealand as a Jewish immigrant from England in
1958, this biography shows how her photographs have consis-
tently drawn out the key human dynamics of conflict, ambiva-
lence, anger, and warmth. Beautifully illustrated, this monograph
reveals how a sustained, inquiring, and attentive perspective for
both the photographer and viewers can lead to new truths.
Leonard Bell is an associate professor of art history at the
University of Auckland and the author of Colonial Constructs.

Using the power of language to
explore and discover patterns of
meaning, this collection brings the
lyric poem face to face with the exter-
nal world—with its politics, social
upheavals, and ideological complexity.
Whether it is a poem about a near vic-
tim of a terrorist attack reflecting on
the nature of grace, a president considering the function of art,
or a Rastafarian defending his faith, the selections all seek illumi-
nation in understanding the world. They are as much about the
quest for love and faith as they are about finding pathways of
meaning through the current decade of wars and political and
economic uncertainty.

the Labor Party from its early days up

how its leaders have always made devotion to this system their

always been the conditioning factor of their political behavior.
