Another book promoting false Maori mythology
This is another of those books, where the Pakeha (non-Maori) author knows little to nothing about the culture she writes about.

This review is from: Punga: The Goddess of Ugly (Library Binding)
This is another of those books, where the Pakeha (non-Maori) author knows little to nothing about the culture she writes about. And promotes gross misinformation on that culture in 'cute' format which does nothing but demean and patronise others. The book is insulting and despite it's 'prettiness' is racially derogatory. It is also wrong for an outsider to appropriate our mythology in order to re-write our stories. Particularly when this is done to line her pocket. Catherine Karena (of the Rangitane & Kahungunu) |
