Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Zealand Resettlement Storybook is an introductory narrative to encourage relationship building between resettled people and New Zealand society. The stories in this book recall the lived experiences of individuals from a forced migrant background, i.e., those who were forced, because of civil war and persecution, to leave their country of origin without having the choice to immigrate. These narratives are human stories of hope and resilience that give different voices and space to tell their life stories beyond settlement. This is a sequel to the book “Beyond Refuge: Stories of Resettlement in Auckland”, published in 2016 and second print in 2021. This book has been compiled by the author for the Aotearoa Resettled Community Coalition (ARCC) as a part of his strategic leadership role to engage and connect with wider stakeholders, including service providers, policymakers, the media, and educational institutions, politicians, and the public. The book serves as a guide, resource, and tool to equip the audiences with resettlement knowledge. These narratives bring a greater understanding of the journeys toward smooth settlement and positive integration at local, regional, and national levels. The book captures ethnic diverse background voices that foster sustainability and help maintain the storyteller's own cultural identities. The storybook shares these human struggle and success stories with love and compassion to all Aotearoa, New Zealand (resettled people and host society) and the world. It recognizes the Aotearoa New Zealand hospitality and the opportunity that allows time to become a healer for some of the individual storytellers as they recover from the past and discover their new home dreams. The spirit of willingness to tell a story and share personal confidences opens a larger audience to hear directly from people who have lived through traumatic experiences. The book aims to change people's mindsets and worldviews through storytelling. And it will take you along the journey of 20 individuals’ new residents and citizens of New Zealand. They openly share their resettlement journeys, from leaving a country of origin, a country of asylum, and finally starting a new life in Aotearoa, New Zealand. The personal accounts will improve readers' general knowledge and understanding of the resettlement journey. It creates an awareness that can lead to more positive settlement and integration outcomes for resettled people. New residents/Resettled people are not asking for a special privilege; they want to be treated like any other New Zealander and to be respected as human beings. The storybook publishing is an aim to create self-reconciliation via active participation for new residents/resettled migrants of Aotearoa, New Zealand, opening cultural and economic contribution to their new home. It is also to fill the public and service providers knowledge gap to support the healing process by building confidence to adapt to new home culture and enlightenment of recovery and resilience from historical trauma. The storybook offers to listen to participants collective voices and respect their priorities with recognition of individual opinions that laminate the mission of guilt and ongoing trauma.

Book excerpt: Our Voices: Indigeneity and Architecture is an exciting advance in the field of architecture offering multiple indigenous perspectives on architecture and design theory and practice. Indigenous authors from Aotearoa NZ, Canada, Australia, and the USA explore the making and keeping of places and spaces which are informed by indigenous values and identities. The lack of publications to date offering an indigenous lens on the field of architecture belies the rich expertise found in indigenous communities in all four countries. This expertise is made richer by the fact that this indigenous expertise combines both architecture and design professional practice, that for the most part is informed by Western thought and practice, with a frame of reference that roots this architecture in the indigenous places in which it sits.

"The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood."--Rev.

Book excerpt: “. . . to suddenly discover yourself existing . . . .” Our Stories: An Introduction to South Asian America is an anthology rooted in community. Bringing together the voices of sixty-four authors—including a wide range of scholars, artists, journalists, and community members—Our Stories weaves together the myriad histories, experiences, perspectives, and identities that make up the South Asian American community. This volume consists of ten chapters that explore both the history of South Asian America, spanning from the 1780s through the present day, and various aspects of the South Asian American experience, from civic engagement to family. Each chapter offers stories of struggle, resistance, inspiration, and joy that disrupt dominant narratives that have erased South Asian Americans’ role in U.S. history and made restrictions on our belonging. By combining these narratives, Our Stories illustrates the diversity, vibrancy, and power of the South Asian American community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You always wanted to change something around you but never got the courage nor knew the process to do something. Great things never come from comfort zones. We usually stay silent and watch the world go through changes, people going through injustice, animals being ill-treated and the planet being destroyed. And there are times when we contemplate ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if I could ...?’ We have a lot of ideas but don’t act on them. Ideas that could make the lives of people better, the planet a better place, and that could bring light to the world. There are some people around us who rise to the challenges to do something about such issues. Our Voice: Our stories is an anthology of amazing changemakers who decided to plant the seeds of light for the future. This book is about to illuminate your minds. You are about to be exposed to how the simplest tools on the internet started to change ideas that later became actions. Each of them has a powerful story, and each story has one clear message – we all have the power to do something which may change the life of humans around us. Our voices: Our stories displaying the different mindsets, and these real-world examples make for a fascinating read. If you want to learn more about how to achieve it in life, this book will be a great investment in your success.

Book excerpt: Our Voices II: the DE-Colonial Project will showcase decolonizing projects which work to destable and disquiet colonial built environments. The land, towns, and cities on which we live have always been Indigenous places yet, for the most part our Indigenous value sets and identities have been disregarded or appropriated. Indigenous people continue to be gentrified out of the places to which they belong and neo‐liberal systems work to continuously subjugate Indigenous involvement in decision‐making processes in subtle, but potent ways. However, we are not, and have never been cultural dopes. Rather, we have, and continue to subvert the colonial value sets that overlay our places in important ways.
