Indigenous Identity and Resistance
brings together the work of Indigenous Studies scholars working in Canada, New Zealand and the Pacific in research conversations that transcend the imperial boundaries of the colonial nations in which they are located. Their lucid, accessible, and thought-provoking essays provide a critical understanding of the ways in which Indigenous peoples are rearticulating their histories, knowledges, and the Indigenous self. Hana O'Regan discusses a programme of language regeneration initiated by members of her iwi, Kai Tahu. Chris Andersen describes the power of Canada's colonial nation-state in constructing categories of indigeneity. Brendan Hokowhitu problematises the common discourses underpinning Indigenous resistance. Janine Hayward compares Indigenous political representation in Canada and New Zealand. This is a snapshot of the forward-looking research in this reader. Taken together, it heralds a ...

Older People, Ageing and Social Work : Knowledge for practice

NZ$ 60.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Mark Hughes & Karen Heycox
Published by:
Allen & Unwin
Social workers are engaged in ongoing practice with older people in a variety of contexts, from hospitals, aged care assessment teams and mental health services to employment, housing and rehabilitation services. This book draws on theoretical, research, policy and practice knowledge to inform contemporary practice with older people. It demonstrates that high-level professional skills are required in this area, as well as detailed knowledge of the issues affecting older people's lives. The authors argue that practitioners need to take into account the social and emotional needs of the older people they work with, as well as the practical and administrative aspects of their roles. They emphasise understanding the diversity of the older population and enabling older people to make the most of their strengths and capacities.

Author:
Ross Fitzgerald & Trevor Jordan
Published by:
ABC Audio
Under the Influence is a unique look at Australian history as seen through the perspective of the influence of alcohol. This well-researched book shows how the patterns for alcohol use (and abuse) can be traced back to the very early days of white settlement in Australia, taking us all the way up to the present day and our ongoing concerns about teenage drinking and alcohol-fuelled violence, as well as the role of industry players in the promotion and packaging of an increasingly dizzying array of alcoholic products. Along the way, we learn of the social, political and cultural facets of alcohol. It makes fascinating reading discovering what our attitude to alcohol says about who we are, who we care about, and what we care about.
