ABSTRACT
This book has focused on four case study regions (UK, the Netherlands, Latvia, and Estonia) across three national minority cultures (Cornish, Frisian, and Livonian), all in a European context. As a first step in exploring potential synergies with the case studies presented here with a global context, this chapter comprises Re:voice project leader, and White British incomer to Cornwall, Laura Hodsdon, in conversation with colleagues from New Zealand and Japan. Ayano Ginoza is Okinawan, and her research at the University of the Ryukyus looks at cultures of militarism and feminist decolonial movements in Okinawa, Japan. Pania Te Maro is Māori with mixed European heritage and researches Education at Massey University, New Zealand; Brian Tweed is a White English (pākehā) incomer to New Zealand who speaks te reo Māori (Māori language) and is also an Education lecturer at Massey University. Here, they offer their personal and professional reflections on the interplay of national majority and minority through intangible heritage in their own contexts.
