Lotto, Long-Drops and Lolly Scrambles: The Extraordinary Anthropology of Middle NZ

This book will get people talking, arguing, laughing and theorising. It combines anthropology and evocative photography to dissect middleclass New Zealand. As humorous as it is informative, this collection of essays will change the way you think about everyday life, while Lucinda Birch?s handtinted photographs are an eye-catching, tactile mnemonic for the exotic in the everyday. A former Truth journalist turned accessible academic, Peter Howland isn?t afraid to cock a snook at the more pretentious aspects of academia along the way.
