About this book
Racism. There, we said it. You can let your shoulders drop now that you know we will say the word and not sidestep it to protect people's comfort. Or, you can raise your shoulders in preparation for tension as you realise that this book will not talk about unconscious bias or other terms that enable us to excuse ourselves from our own complicity in, inaction on, or upholding of racist structures. — Sereana Naepi
Salt water carries the weight of powerful stories – of migration, struggle and survival. It is in the sweat of labour, the tears of grief and joy, and the waves that have shaped generations. Like the ocean, racism has carved deep scars in the landscapes we navigate. In this collection, thirteen Pacific scholars rise to turn the tide, dissecting the racism embedded in New Zealand's core systems, from education and health to justice and climate. Through ten essays rooted in the va – the relational space of story, dialogue and environment – each chapter builds on the next, weaving together lived experiences and sharp insights.
Oceans Between Us is both a testimony and a call to action. It documents the struggles of Pacific peoples and envisions a world beyond now. A rallying cry for justice, a demand for equity and a catalyst for change, this book is not about survival alone – it's about thriving.
