JULY 2012 – JULY 2013

Bridget Williams Books Publishing Trust For over three decades, books published by Bridget Williams have contributed to critical scholarship in New Zealand; they have told our stories, and deepened our understanding of what it is to inhabit these islands. The BWB Publishing Trust was established in 2006 to ensure that this work continues.

The Trust shares the commitment expressed in BWB’s publishing: a commitment to the significance of New Zealand publishing in a digital age. It is through books – the printed page between two covers and words emerging on screen – that ideas are captured, stimulated, debated and documented. And it is through books that we understand our history and know the present better. For New Zealanders, this exploration has a special urgency, as our cultural identity encounters the neutralising impact of globalisation.

The economics of publishing serious New Zealand non-fiction are framed by a small immediate market and a more remote international one. Under an innovative concept, the BWB Publishing Trust will enhance and sustain the work of a highly creative and commercially astute company.

Trust funds will enable BWB books to be written, published and digitised. The BWB Publishing Trust will seek funding through grants and donations, and accept support from state institutions, other trusts, corporates and individuals.

The Trust’s settlor, Hugh Rennie, QC, writes: ‘Nations need their voices, and books are those voices. New Zealand needs many more books of the quality that BWB has published, and the authors who work with Bridget Williams have written. This is vital to the growth and maturing of our society. I have helped to set up the BWB Trust so that we can make sure that all this happens.’

Bridget Williams Books

In 2012 and 2013, Bridget Williams Books will release several shelves of books for New Zealand readers – new history and old, political commentary past and present, women’s books from the feisty 1980s, Māori history for future generations. New history comes from Tony Ballantyne and Alison Clarke, politics and law from scholars contributing to Treaty of Waitangi Settlements; critical issues are covered in Inequality, and Rod Edmond reflects on family narratives in Migrations. Later in 2013 we will publish a magnificent work that draws particularly on the research and writing of recent decades – Tangata Whenua: An Illustrated History by Atholl Anderson, Judith Binney and Aroha Harris. These books are framed by a rich compilation of BWB e-books, drawn from thirty years of innovative New Zealand publishing; on page 9, Tom Rennie outlines our digital strategy.

BWB was founded in 1990, when Bridget Williams purchased the Allen & Unwin New Zealand list she had developed as managing director in the preceding six years. Through the 1980s, New Zealand publishing flourished. Scholarly history made its way into the hands of general readers with a keen interest in this country’s identity; feminism drove a groundswell of books on women’s issues, history and biography. Research and writing on Māori history was fuelled by iwi claims under the new Treaty of Waitangi settlement process. To be publishing through these years was to be part of a transformation in New Zealand’s intellectual life. For Bridget Williams, they were the years of publishing Claudia Orange’s Treaty of Waitangi and the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography with its companion volumes Ngā Tāngata Taumata Rau, and the years of Colin James’ Quiet Revolution, Pauline O’Regan’s A Changing Order, Lauris Edmond’s autobiography, Marilyn Waring’s Counting for Nothing, Christine Dann’s Up From Under... and many more titles that New Zealand readers bought, shared and enjoyed.

In 2012, BWB brings many of these titles back as e-books – for a new generation of readers, and also for those who took part in the intellectual ferment of the times. These books are joined by more from two decades of publishing under the BWB imprint – including Judith Binney’s magisterial histories, Jessie Munro’s Story of Suzanne Aubert, Jane Kelsey’s New Zealand Experiment, Lloyd Geering’s Wrestling With God, Bill Oliver’s Looking for the Phoenix, and the Concise Dictionary of New Zealand Sign Language.

BWB is taking this rich body of knowledge forward, reaching out to general readers, students, schools, libraries and scholars around the world. Nothing is certain about this future. We know, however, that knowledge about New Zealand continues to be important to our readers – and ever more so, as this small country meets the challenges of global recession and the digital revolution. BWB’s commitment to good New Zealand publishing is enabled by the support acknowledged on this page. We take this opportunity to thank you all warmly.

As Judith Binney wrote in Stories Without End (2010): ‘Storytelling is an art deep within human nature... The art of transmitting the “histories that matter” to successive generations is as old as human existence.’

Tangata Whenua: An Illustrated HistoryAtholl Anderson, Judith Binney & Aroha Harris

RRP$130 hardbackISBN 9781927131411ISTC A022012000022331Publication: Oct 2013496 pages • 290 x 245 mmApprox 500 illustrationsFull colour throughoutHistory/Māori

Published with the Auckland War Memorial Museum

A landmark publication, Tangata Whenua portrays the sweep of Māori history from Pacific origins to the twenty-first century. Through narrative and images, it offers a striking overview of the past, grounded in specific localities and histories.

Fifteen chapters bring together scholarship in history, archaeology, traditional narratives and oral history. Images from around the country (and from international museums) include taonga and artefacts, early European sketches and paintings along with contemporary artworks, and many photographs from collections and newspapers.

Placing Māori at the centre of the country’s story, Tangata Whenua begins in the Pacific and outlines early settlement in New Zealand. A second section covers the period of great change in the nineteenth century, examining how Māori communities were affected by the influx of new technology, religious ideas, trade and literacy. The history then extends forward through the twentieth century – with two world wars, the growth of an urban Māori culture, rising protest, and Treaty claims and settlements.

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Māori are drawing on both international connections and their ancestral place in Aotearoa. The ways in which growth and development are interwoven with tension and resistance will be evident in the future as they have been throughout the past.

Atholl Anderson (Ngāi Tahu) is Professor Emeritus at the Australian National University. An experienced archaeologist, he has published on early New Zealand and Pacific history, and on Ngāi Tahu history. Judith Binney was Professor Emeritus at the University of Auckland, and an award-winning author of many books on Māori history. Aroha Harris (Ngāpuhi, Te Rarawa) is a member of the Waitangi Tribunal, who teaches history at the University of Auckland. Her publications include history, fiction and poetry.

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: Māori women of noble families might be lovingly cared for within the whare kōhanga; 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.

Webs of EmpireLocating New Zealand’s Colonial PastTony Ballantyne

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, Māori 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 Zealand’s Pasts (co-editor, 2006) amongst his publications.

Treaty of Waitangi SettlementsEdited by Nicola R. Wheen & Janine Hayward

RRP$49.99Publication: Nov 2012ISBN 9781927131381ISTC A0220120000214E0284 pages • 240 x 170 mmHistory/Māori/Treaty

Published with the New Zealand Law Foundation

The settlement of iwi claims under the Treaty of Waitangi has drawn international attention, as other nations seek ways to build new relationships between indigenous peoples and the state. Here leading scholars consider the impact of Treaty settlements on the management and ownership of key resources (lands, forests and fisheries); they look at the economic and social consequences for Māori, and the impact of the settlement process on Crown–Māori relationships. And they ask ‘how successful has the settlement process been?’

Editors: Nicola R. Wheen and Janine Hayward teach law and politics (respectively) at the University of Otago; they are co-editors of The Waitangi Tribunal (2004).

Contributors: Maria Bargh, Michael Belgrave, Mai Chen, Dean Cowie, Maureen Hickey, Robert Joseph, Margaret Mutu, Michael Stevens, Damian Stone, Linda Te Aho, Baden Vertongen, Paerau Warbrick.

For centuries Matiatia Bay has been the landing place for travellers in the Hauraki Gulf – from Māori waka to ocean-going yachts and commuter ferries. Now this beautiful heritage site on Waiheke Island finds itself at a crossroads, as pressure builds for commercial development. Urban planners, Waiheke residents, the Auckland City Council, shipping businesses and other local industry all have a keen interest in what happens next at Matiatia.

Waiheke historian Paul Monin tells the story of the bay from occupation at the time of the first Māori settlement of Aotearoa to the present day – a microcosm of New Zealand’s history. Charmingly written, Matiatia: Gateway to Waiheke explores the area’s archaeology, politics, ecology and society, illustrated with a rich selection of photographs and maps.

Paul Monin’s history of the Hauraki Gulf area, Hauraki Contested (2001) won the J. M. Sherrard Award.

A staggering rise in wealth disparity has transformed New Zealand from one of the developed world’s most equal nations to one of the most unequal. International bestseller The Spirit Level argued in 2009 that income inequality is the biggest single cause of a huge range of social problems. In contrast, more equal societies are consistently the healthiest, best educated and most free of crime. Inequality addresses these questions in the New Zealand context – a powerful argument from some of the country’s leading commentators.

Editor: Winner of the 2010 Bruce Jesson Award, journalist Max Rashbrooke has worked freelance in the UK for papers such as the Guardian and the Observer.

MigrationsRod Edmond

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 great-grandparents, from a cluster of ruined crofts to the village of Ambrym, arriving finally in New Zealand.

Whether he is writing about an unanticipated reconciliation ceremony in a Pacific village or a visit to his great-grandfather’s parish in earthquake-damaged Sydenham, Edmond writes with a scholar’s precision and a traveller’s keen eye for detail and its significance.

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.

The Treaty of Waitangi is a central document in New Zealand history. This lively account tells the story of the Treaty from its signing in 1840 through the debates and struggles of the nineteenth century to the gathering political momentum of recent decades.

The second edition of this popular book brings the story up to the present. New illustrations enrich the history, giving life to the events as they unfold. Printed in full colour, The Story of a Treaty will continue as a superb introduction to Treaty history for future generations.

Claudia Orange’s authoritative Treaty of Waitangi (1987) changed the way many New Zealanders saw this significant part of their history. Dame Claudia has been honoured for her contribution to New Zealand history and particularly to the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography. She is Collections and Research Group Director at Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand.

Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki was one of the nineteenth century’s 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 Kooti’s 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 Tūhoe leaders when she was given the name Te Tomairangi o Te Aroha. A Fellow of the Royal Society, she received the Prime Minister’s Award for Literary Achievement in Non-Fiction in 2006.

Encircled LandsTe Urewera, 1820–1921Judith Binney

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 Pōtae’ (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 1921–22, 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 Tūhoe’s 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 award-winning 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. BWB’s 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 BWB’s 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 today’s readers. Our new digital infrastructure means we can focus on what BWB has always done best: far-sighted and influential publishing, whatever the format.
