Gallery - Albert Wendt
Television (Full Length) – 1973
A teacher would call me 'Black Sambo' thinking it was a joke, he didn't mean anything by it ...– Wendt reflects on acclimatising to NZ
Once I learned the language, and as I learned the customs of the Pākehā ... I even started to speak with a Taranaki accent ... which was very quaint.– Wendt reflects on acclimatising to NZ
What most of all impresses me in his writing, is its integrity ...– Maurice Shadbolt, at the Sons for the Return Home book launch
I hope I have been honest in the book, about what it's like being Samoan in New Zealand, in a different culture.– Wendt, at the Sons for the Return Home book launch
