description: A stunning collection of Oceanic stories for the 21st century.Stones move whale bones rise out of the ground like cities a man figures out how to raise seven daughters alone. Sometimes gods speak or we find ourselves in a not-too-distant future. Here are the glorious painful sharp and funny 21st century stories of Maori and Pasifika writers from all over the world. Vibrant provocative and aesthetically exciting these stories expand our sense of what is possible in Indigenous Oceanic writing.Witi Ihimaera and Tina Makereti present the very best new and uncollected stories and novel excerpts creating a talanoa a conversation where the stories do the talking. And because our commonalities are more stimulating than our differences the anthology also includes guest work from an Aboriginal Australian writer and several visual artists whose work speaks to similar kaupapa.Join us as we deconstruct old theoretical maps and allow these fresh Black Marks on the White Page to expand our perception of the Pacific world.
