Pauline Smith

Like many 13-year-old girls, Sofias main worries are how to get some groovy go-go boots, and how not to die of embarrassment giving a speech at school! But when her older brother Lenny starts talking about marches and protests and overstayers, and how Pacific Islanders are being bullied by the police for their passports and papers, a shadow is cast over Sofias sunny teenage days. Through her heartfelt diary entries, we witness the terror of being dawn-raided and gain an insight into the courageous and tireless work of the Polynesian Panthers in the 1970s as they encourage immigrant families across New Zealand to stand up for their rights.

Pauline Smith's many admirers will welcome this new volume, which contains writings which are out of print, have never before been published, or have not appeared in book form. This collection of largely unknown material spans the full range of her creative life, from the early 'Platkops' stories to her last uncompleted work. What gives this wide diversity of pieces coherence and added interest is their marked autobiographical bent.
