Recenzii
‘A people’s history of the country’ — Anna Rankin, RNZ
‘The stonking new book from historian Michael Belgrave is a joy to read: don’t be put off by the size of it, readers will find a fluid, witty voice and a fascinating, fresh look at how Aotearoa, the people, came to be.’ — The Spinoff Review of Books
‘Drawing upon a professional lifetime of research, teaching, and supervision, Belgrave has succeeded in delivering a rich, thoughtful, and politically engaged assessment of New Zealand’s development as a national community’ — Tony Ballantyne, New Zealand Journal of History
‘It might be a whopper, coming in at 650 pages, but Michael Belgrave’s sweeping history of New Zealand is a fluent, authoritative, and often revisionist page-turner . . . Belgrave’s history covers a lot of national ground, ranging from the arrival of the first waka, to Covid and the Wellington anti-mandate protests. Such a vast sweep of history requires the author to pull on many hats: economist, political analyst, biographer, social historian. From a mountain of dusty data, Belgrave has drawn a fresh perspective on the history of Aotearoa which is a joy to read. I loved the sense that over every line hovered his light wit, ready to pounce.’ — Jenny Nicholls, Waiheke Weekender
‘Becoming Aotearoa couldn’t be more timely. While Belgrave references scholarly debates and weighs a multitude of sources, this isn’t an academic text. With its concision and interest in linking past and present, it’s more accessible than its most recent predecessor, Michael King’s The Penguin History of New Zealand. Anyone who hasn’t had the chance to go beyond the basics of our history may find a lot here that surprises them’ — Rachel Morris, NZ Geographic
‘Compelling reading [that] speaks to the concerns of our age. I couldn’t put it down’ — Giselle Byrnes, Australian Historical Studies
