Important contribution from my Te Herenga Waka-VUW and Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha-UC colleagues on the history, achievements, and limits of the 🇳🇿 Citizenship (Western Samoa) (Restoration) Amendment Act 2024. 👏

Nikitha Aithal, Helena Cook, Marnie Lloydd and Julija Sardelić focus on 🇳🇿 2024 citizenship restoration for Sāmoans, arguing it treats the symptoms, not the systems of colonial injustice

Justice means dismantling ongoing racism & exclusion, not just restoring legal status ⚖️

Gracias, Pepe!

Ilustração de Pepe Mujica, fundo branco, as cores de sua pele tem tons que vão do ocre ao bege claro e branco. Sua camisa e paletó são feitos com linhas pretas e azuis claras, minimalistas que se fundem ao fundo branco. Abaixo tem uma forma pequena, estrelada, amarela, lembrando um sol ao seu lado as palavras em azul claro "Gracias, Pepe!"
