Karearea

Stirring writings on life, law and culture from Mamari Stephens (Te Rarawa), one of New Zealand's most perceptive legal minds.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

My journey into law and mātauranga is one more defined by absence, understanding of loss, whakamā, accident, and a sense of coming in from the cold, than by any programmatic acquisition of expertise.

This collection of writing from Mamari Stephens (Te Rarawa) travels through introspection, loss, and doubt, to present striking moments of insight into the world around us. From one of New Zealand's most perceptive legal scholars, these are words that question neat categorisations and easy assumptions.

Karearea returns, always, to the ground, the people, the experiences that make up a life of learning, and to the stories that we tell ourselves.
