Written in response to the Christchurch massacre in 2019, the book explores the idea of national identity in New Zealand, particularly inclusion and exclusion throughout the country's history. It examines shared experiences and the barriers that have divided people, focusing on the roles of Māori and the state in managing social contracts with various groups. The book also addresses the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the emergence of "history wars," which involve conflicting narratives of the past in political debates.
