Book talk with author Catherine Knight

Date: 30 October

Time: 6:00 - 7:30 pm

Venue: Whanau Room, British High Commission

Address: 44 Hill Street, Thorndon, Wellington

WEAll Aotearoa and the British High Commission are pleased to host Catherine Knight in conversation discussing her fifth book, An Uncommon Land: From an ancestral post of enclosure towards a regenerative future.

An Uncommon Land is a story of enclosure, dispossession, colonisation and – ultimately – hope for a better future. Through the lens of her ancestors’ stories, Catherine Knight throws light on the genesis and evolution of the commons, its erosion through enclosure and the ascendency of private property in parallel with the rise of capitalism – a history that has indelibly shaped New Zealand society and its landscape.
