This is Us is a collection of over 200 brief interviews with New
Zealanders, spanning the length and breadth of the country; from Cape Reinga to
Stewart Island. It was written in response to the Christchurch terrorist attack
but is not about it; it is instead a representation of the New Zealand people
in their own words. A celebration of the diverse, open, and inclusive
communities that exist across New Zealand, This is Us inspires hope by
showing the kindness and spirit of everyday people.
Each interview provides a snapshot of the subject's life, accompanied by
a photographic portrait. The joy interviewees felt in telling their stories
shines from the page. Each of the interviewees has a unique story to tell, and
to have them collected in one place creates an engaging and insightful reading
experience that will delight anyone interested in finding out more about Kiwi society
and culture.
Carter spoke with characters from a variety of professions, age groups
and cultural backgrounds. From a New Zealander with a long line of Kiwi
ancestors, to a person with a Maori name but Italian and Brazilian parents, this
collection reflects the ethnic diversity and cultural riches of New Zealand. This is Us is a tribute to the Kiwi
spirit.
