Potiki by Patricia Grace
Winner of the 1987 New Zealand Fiction AwardThis compelling novel will resonate for people everywhere who find their livelihood threatened by Dollarmen - property speculators advocating golf courses, high rises, shopping malls, and tourist attractions. In 'Potiki', one community's response to attacks on their ancestral values and symbols provides moving affirmation of the relationship between land the the people who live on it.
Grace, Patricia: - Patricia Grace is the first Maori woman to publish a collection of short stories (1975). Since then she has published three other short story collections, three award-winning novels, and several children's books. Her novel Dogside Story (UH Press edition, 2002) won the 2001 Kiriyama Prize for fiction. She is widely anthologized and translated into more than eight languages, and is considered not only one of the finest writers in New Zealand and the Pacific, but one of the most important writers of the post-colonial novel in English in the world today.
