“…For some, this becomes what Di Angelo (2018) calls White fragility where White people demand constant reassurance from those targeted by racism. For others, it can manifest as what Hotere-Barnes (2015) coined Pākehā paralysis Emotional and intellectual difficulties that Pākehā can experience when engaging in social, cultural, economic and political relations with Māori because of: a fear of getting it wrong; concern about perpetuating Māori cultural tokenism; negative previous experiences with Māori; a confusion about what the “right” course of action may be.

This pilot study explored Māori (Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa (New Zealand)) and Tauiwi (non-Māori) nurses’ perspectives of anti-racism. A critical qualitative design was utilised, informed by kaupapa Māori (Māori philosophical approaches). Senior nurses with more than 7 years experience were recruited for focus groups. Two focus groups, one Māori ( n = 5) and one Tauiwi ( n = 4), were conducted September 2019 in Auckland. Data were analysed using the framework of a continuum of praxis which included themes of (a) problematic or racist, (b) variable and (c) proactive or anti-racism. Problematic praxis included examples of racism and White fragility. Variable praxis included Māori language and commitment to professional development. Proactive praxis included Māori workforce and reflexivity. These overarching themes illustrate a broad spectrum of anti-racism praxis within nursing. This continuum illustrated with examples is a potentially useful tool to assess and build proactive anti-racism praxis in nursing.

“…What we have in common with each other is the privilege of being beneficiaries of a colonization process in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Our identity as Pākehā settlers has been forged in relation to Māori (the Indigenous people of Aotearoa, New Zealand), developing over time, through the process of colonization (Bell, 2014;Hotere-Barnes, 2015).…”

“…They do quite the opposite: they perpetuate colonial senti ments (Bishop, 2011). One white New Zealand evaluator and researcher describes believing that these processes will be valid for Indigenous people as "stupid opti mism" (Hotere- Barnes, 2015).…”

The basic ideas behind contribution analysis were set out in 2001. Since then, interest in the approach has grown and contribution analysis has been opera tionalized in different ways. In addition, several reviews of the approach have been published and raise a few concerns. In this article, I clarify several of the key concepts behind contribution analysis, including contributory causes and contribution claims. I discuss the need for reasonably robust theories of change and the use of nested theories of change to unpack complex settings. On contribution claims, I argue the need for causal narratives to arrive at credible claims, the limited role that external causal factors play in arriving at contribution claims, the use of robust theories of change to avoid bias, and the fact that opinions of stakeholders on the contribution made are not central in arriving at contribution claims.

“…Arriving at this recognition takes intellectual, emotional, cultural, and constitutional work over time, which will be challenging ( Huygens, 2011). Yet, as Hotere- Barnes (2015) says, to ignore these difficulties perpetuates and preserves racist systems. If we work to shift our thinking and understandings of ourselves and our relationships with Indigenous people, our subsequent actions and interactions are less likely to reinforce negative and unproductive patterns and outcomes (Bishop, 2017).…”
