Adopted into a white family, Mika learnt Maori culture from the back of a cereal box. He discovered disco in the 1970s, worked with Carmen, Dalvanius Prime, and others to develop outrageous stage shows, and came out on screen with Harvey Keitel, playing a takatapui role in the film \u003ci\u003eThe Piano\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Mika has never been in the closet: his life has been an ongoing production of both the fabulous and the revolutionary. This highly visual book interweaves research with images hand-picked from Mika's extensive archive to reveal the life and times of a queer brown boy from Aotearoa who took on the big white world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Witi Ihimaera, Sharon Mazer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1869408861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781869408862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Auckland University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.61w x 0.87d","brand":"Witi Ihimaera","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125499228415,"sku":"9781869408862","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad5b1b5e-946f-40c3-a585-26286697f28d.jpg?v=1687442981","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-have-loved-me-a-witi-ihimaera-9781869408862","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
