The Sedition Trial of James Liston
Bishop in the Dock tells the story, Bishop James Liston, the first Catholic Bishop in the British Empire to be tried for his political opinions, and brings to light the sectarian dimension of New Zealand’s past. Drawing on previously unexplored sources, the author presents a picture of a Catholic community wrestling with its troubled Irish heritage, and with issues of assimilation and identity in the hysterically pro-British atmosphere of 1920s New Zealand.
