The NZ journal that spiked a critical review of its co-editor’s bookThe Spinoff Daily, Thursday October 3Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily. Today on The Spinoff: 12 things we learned from the latest release of Census 2023 data, one of the most effective ways to reduce your emissions and what to do when all your friends are whingers and moaners. But first: Is the New Zealand academic community too small for critical reviews? Claire Mabey: “Writer and historian Kerryn Pollock was initially surprised to be commissioned by the New Zealand Journal of History (NZJH) to review The Best Country to Give Birth? Midwifery, Homebirth and the Politics of Maternity in Aotearoa New Zealand, 1970-2022 by Linda Bryder. She was even more surprised when her review was then rejected by the journal on the grounds of legal risk. Pollock was especially alarmed given the co-editor of the journal is Linda Bryder herself. Read the review as submitted to NZJH, printed here in full.” Support our expanding mahi in the capital If you value our coverage of all things Wellington, from our maps of bike networks, to local politics, to untold history, consider making a donation or becoming a member today. 12 things we learned from the latest release of Census 2023 data The construction sector is disoriented and depleted – and the path to recovery unclear Want to reduce your emissions?
