This review is from: Ka Whawai Tonu Matou: Struggle without End (Paperback)
A very good history of NZ and early maori contact. But do not rely on this tome alone, as it is slightly one sided, on the maori view of issues, but in conjunction with "Making Peoples" by James Belich this work becomes a very useful resource.

This review is from: Ka Whawai Tonu Matou: Struggle without End (Paperback)
For many years, learning institutions in New Zealand have told our national history from the perspective of the coloniser.
This book sets about to redress some of the 'facts' that we have hitherto accepted as truth.
It provides us with another 'truth' by which we can at least attempt to base an informed opinion.
This is a very important book for those who wish to study aboriginal voice and colonisation in the South Pacific
