Among Kinabuhi Sa AotearoaAmong Kinabuhi Sa Aotearoa

Among Kinabuhi sa Aotearoa is a glimpse into the lives of 14 Filipinos--the third-largest Asian group in Aotearoa-- trailblazers who build community in their adopted home, uphold the struggles of their people in the Philippines and stand in solidarity with tangata whenua. This collection brings together a diverse group of artists, academics and activists engaged in the practice of radical imagination and collective action--working towards a future that is kinder, more equitable and just. These individuals recognise that the value of social movements lies not only in binary outcomes of victory or defeat, but in the ability to forge and fortify relationships, solidarity and community. Each interview is a peek into their interpretation of the legacy of care we inherit as people of the diaspora--an understanding that being guests on another's land is both a privilege and a responsibility. We invite readers to not only hope for better futures, but to also take active steps towards creating them.
