This book takes an innovative view of language and politics,
charting the terrain of political identities and discourses in New
Zealand through detailed linguistic analysis of interactions with
its voters. The author first sets out the geographical and
sociopolitical context, examining how the constraints of a small
and isolated country interact with widespread social values such as
egalitarianism. He then delves into the multiple nature of
identities and explores how Kiwis form their political selves
through informal talk with others and in engagement with their
physical and discursive surroundings. In doing so, the author
provides an in-depth exploration of New Zealand political culture,
identity and discourse, and sheds light on how we use language to
become political people. This book will be of interest to
linguists, political scientists and sociologists working with
discourse analysis.
