Kiwi is a fascinating deep dive into New Zealand's curious national identity.Cultural author and avid Kiwiana collector Richard Wolfe explores the evolution of 'kiwi' from the Maori name of a secretive bird to its many uses today - renaming a fruit native to China, signifying a New Zealander, and a powerful term in national and international branding.With extensive colour illustrations, photographs and ephemera, and the author's keen eye for the curious, Kiwi presents some outlandish stories, tales of cultural appropriation and recognition of 'Kiwi' around the world.A popular study on New Zealand identity, this is an entertaining and important work for fans of all things kiwi and Kiwis themselves.
