The Good Settler: Richard Shaw

One of our most popular 2024 guests returns to WORD! Politics professor and writer Richard Shaw’s new book The Good Settler is the third in a trilogy by one of our most incisive writers on decolonisation. His books explore the complicated realities of Pākehā with long settler histories in Aotearoa New Zealand. He joins Helen Brown (Ngāi Tahu) in conversation.

‘Richard Shaw has struck a rich vein’ — Stephanie Johnson, NZ Listener

‘Even for someone like me, who’s had a real interest in New Zealand history, there were still things that really surprised me and shocked me’ — Paul Diamond, RNZ
