NZ History

The 1970s saw unprecedented
numbers of people take to the streets
to protest against injustice and for the
environment, gay rights, housing, Māori
land and language, women’s rights,
workers’ wages and conditions — and to
end apartheid, racism and war.
This book salutes the people whose
radical actions changed Aotearoa’s
political landscape forever ... and
reminds us there is still a lot to be done.
