Book Launch: The Meeting Place

As I mentioned in a recent post, a new edition of my book The Meeting Place: Māori and Pākehā Encounters, 1642-1840 will shortly be published by Bridget Williams Books after the original 2012 work has been out of print for some time now. 

I am delighted to now share with you details of the book launch, to be held in Wellington on Tuesday 14 October at the Royal Society Te Apārangi and featuring Hon. Justice Sir Joe Wiliams as guest speaker.
