“My journey into law and matauranga is one more defined by absence, understanding of loss, whakama, accident and a sense of coming in from the cold, than by any programmatic acquisition of expertise.”

In Karearea, Mamari Stephens (Te Rarawa) presents a collection of writings that move through introspection, loss, and doubt, arriving at striking moments of clarity and insight. One of New Zealand’s most perceptive legal scholars, Stephens challenges neat categorisations and easy assumptions, weaving personal reflection with intellectual depth.

Always returning to the ground, the people, and the lived experiences that shape a life of learning, Karearea is a powerful meditation on knowledge, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves.
