    Event description

    This powerful book describes yet another hidden layer in the history of these islands, a place where imprisonment, labour, punishment, class and ethnicity all combine to create a narrative at odds with any imagined story of sturdy pioneers and well earned progress.” — Kete Books

    How has forced work shaped our country? Jared Davidson’s groundbreaking book Blood & Dirt reveals the haunting unfolding of prison labour and the ways in which the work of the unfree and the unpaid is intertwined with the history of Aotearoa and Te Moana-nui-a-kiwa at large. Hosted by Pip Adam.

    A discounted ‘Ticket + book’ bundle is available for this event for a copy of Jared Davidson’s Blood & Dirt. If purchased, your book can be collected from Unity Books, 57 Willis Street, Wellington in advance of the festival, or at the event from Unity's book table.
