Title: Between Dreams – Resistance and Representation in Asian Aotearoa
Author: GASSIN GRACE

This landmark collection presents fresh, progressive
perspectives on what it means to be ‘Asian’ in Aotearoa.



Te Papa curator Grace Gassin draws together journalists,
researchers, activists, filmmakers and political commentators to relate
experiences of living between cultures and and to explore the legacies of New
Zealand’s diverse Asian diaspora histories.



Featuring a broad range of taonga from the museum’s
collections, this timely book brings these social histories into focus,
revealing shared themes of resistance and representation that offer ways to
reckon with the past and imagine new futures.
