All That We Know
This is Aotearoa, New Zealand.
This is a novel about who we are now.
Past, present and future.
All that we have
is All That We Know.
Meet Mareikura Pohe: she's in love with her best friend, though he's about to abandon her; and she's an accidental activist, though she never asked for the spotlight. Navigating self-diagnosed ADHD and a new relationship while reclaiming her language is no easy feat. But as her platform grows, Mareikura unwittingly becomes a voice for change against the far-reaching consequences of colonisation. The question remains: at what personal cost?
A modern take on family and friendship and how, even in a divided world, love and connection can triumph against all odds.
'Magnificent ... a well-observed mirror of our current time' Pip Adam
'Shilo Kino is an extraordinary writer - a growing, potent voice in Aotearoa/NZ literature. All That We Own Know is a clever, knowing insight into language trauma and reclamation and how we each navigate our experiences of colonisation and healing through te ao Maori me te ao Pakeha...' Miriama Kamo

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
