About the event
Join us to help launch Ann Beaglehole's How to be an Alien, a partly humorous memoir replete with reflections on refugee policy and being ‘not quite one of us.’ This spirited new pukapuka elucidates how refugees survive and thrive in a strange new country. Shedding light on shifting perceptions of being Jewish in Aotearoa, moving between the personal and the political, Beaglehole entwines the ridiculous and the profoundly serious. Come by and help us propel this pukapuka into the world!
