In people, in place, and in the shifting shape of Māori life in Aotearoa. And through a career in filmmaking, broadcasting and cultural advocacy, he has been finding himself. Kua Tau gathers up a kete of his best writing on these subjects, drawing from his much-loved essays for the online magazine E-Tangata.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the turbulence of the 1970s and 1980s to the powerful iwi Māori of today, Stephens writes about the people who shaped him.
