Te Ara out in German

Te Ara: Māori Pathways of Leadership is back in a new edition, with German text alongside Māori and English. 

Author Paul Tapsell and photographer Krzysztof Pfeiffer created Te Ara to accompany their international touring exhibition, which opened in Olsztyn, Poland in September 2010 - hence the third language in the first edition was Polish. 

After touring elsewhere in Poland and then the UK, Te Ara will open at the Museum für Völkerkunde in Hamburg at the start of October. Libro International is pleased to be partnering with the museum to produce this new edition, which is a wonderful introduction to Māori society with stunning colour photos.

Te Ara: Māori Pathways of Leadership

Coming this month is our newest publication Te Ara: Māori Pathways of Leadership, a full-colour paperback that documents the trajectory of Māori leadership from first settlement of Aotearoa/New Zealand through to the challenges and opportunities of the present day.

This 32-page book is concisely written by Paul Tapsell, professor of Māori studies at the University of Otago, with Dr Merata Kawharu, director of the James Henare Māori Research Centre of the University of Auckland, and features beautiful photos by Krzysztof Pfeiffer, photographer at the Auckland War Memorial Museum and author of over 20 books.

After a general introduction to Māori history, Te Ara focuses on the stories of iwi in five regions – Hokianga, Peowhairangi (Bay of Islands) Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), Waiariki (Rotorua-Taupo) and Murihiku (Otago-Southland).

Te Ara accompanies an exhibition that will open in Olsztyn, Poland, on 22 September, before touring in Poland and then elsewhere to Europe. The present edition contains text in three languages – Māori, English and Polish – definitely a first!
