Canterbury University Press A Long Time Coming: The story of Ngāi Tahu’s
Book SynopsisThe Ngāi Tahu settlement, like all other Treaty of Waitangi settlements in Aotearoa New Zealand, was more a product of political compromise and expediency than measured justice. The Ngāi Tahu claim, Te Kerēme, spanned two centuries, from the first letter of protest to the Crown in 1849 to the final hearing by the Waitangi Tribunal between 1987 and 1989, and then the settlement in 1998. Generation after generation carried on the fight with hard work and persistence and yet, for nearly all Ngāi Tahu, the result could not be called fair. The intense negotiations between the two parties, Ngāi Tahu and the Crown, were led by a pair of intelligent, hard-nosed rangatira, who had a constructive but often acrimonious relationship – Tipene O’Regan and the Minister of Treaty Negotiations Doug Graham – but things were never that simple. The Ngāi Tahu team had to answer to the communities back home and iwi members around the country. Most were strongly supportive, but others attacked them at hui, on the marae and in the media, courts and Parliament. Graham and his officials, too, had to answer to their political masters. And the general public – interested Pākehā, conservationists, farmers and others – had their own opinions. In this measured, comprehensive and readable account, Martin Fisher shows how, amid such strong internal and external pressures, the two sides somehow managed to negotiate one of the country’s longest legal documents. 'A Long Time Coming' tells the extraordinary, complex and compelling story of Ngāi Tahu’s treaty settlement negotiations with the Crown. But it also shines a light, for both Māori and Pākehā, on a crucial part of this country’s history that has not, until now, been widely enough known.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Foreword A note on macrons Introduction Chapter 1: The history of Te Kerēme: the Ngāi Tahu claim Chapter 2: Ngāi Tahu takes action Chapter 3: The negotiating principles Chapter 4: The negotiations begin Chapter 5: Establishing Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and rangatiratanga Chapter 6: The economics of Ngāi Tahu’s settlement Chapter 7: The gradual breakdown of 1992–94 Chapter 8: Collapse, late 1994–early 1996 Chapter 9: Negotiations recommence Chapter 10: A settlement at last Chapter 11: The post-settlement journey A final word Notes Glossary A note on sources Select bibliography Image credits Index

Oratia Media Auckland: The Twentieth-Century Story
Book SynopsisMore biography than conventional history, this substantial work tracks the changing personality of Auckland through the twentieth century, as recorded by its inhabitants in diaries and oral histories, as well as newspapers and formal records. Auckland in 1999 would have been unrecognisable to the city''s residents in 1900. Professor Paul Moon explores this transformation in themes including housing, gardening, the harbours, tangata whenua struggles, shopping culture, the immigrant experience -- and the pervading sense that Auckland was simultaneously at the edge of the world and at its centre.

Book SynopsisHow did the word ''kiwi'' migrate from the Mãori name of a secretive bird to signify a New Zealander, a globally recognised fruit, and be used in all manner of national and international branding? In this highly illustrated study of a key aspect of New Zealand identity, cultural historian Richard Wolfe explores the evolution of ''kiwi'' through to its multiplicity of uses today. With extensive colour illustrations and ephemera, and Wolfe''s trademark eye for the curious, Kiwi is both entertaining and important.

Massey University Press New Zealand's Foreign Service: A History
Book SynopsisSince 1943, during war, humanitarian and natural disasters and flashpoints of global tension, one government department has been charged with the critical role of representing New Zealand's interests overseas. In doing so, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (and its predecessors) has needed to respond to ever-evolving political and military allegiances, trade globalisation, economic threats, natural disasters and military conflict on behalf of a small nation that seeks to engage on the global stage while maintaining the principles that underpin its political institutions.For more than 75 years the ministry has been served by some remarkable people, dedicated to an organisation that has reflected New Zealand's developing sense of nationhood and place in world. This history of the foreign service, edited by one of New Zealand's foremost historians, captures the high stakes, skill and intelligence involved in the development of a unique organisation.

Massey University Press The Unsettled
Book SynopsisAfter Richard Shaw published his acclaimed memoir The Forgotten Coast in 2021, he made contact with Pakeha with long settler histories who were coming to grips with the truth of their respective families' pioneer stories'. They were questioning the foundation of aggressive acts of colonisation and land confiscation on which those stories had been constructed.The Unsettled weaves those stories with Shaw's own and features New Zealanders who are trying to figure out how to live well with their own pasts, their presents and their possible futures. They may be unsettled, but they are doing something about it.It is an indispensable companion for the journey towards understanding the complex and difficult history of the New Zealand Wars and their ongoing aftermath.

Te Papa Press Tiny Statements: A Social History of Aotearoa New
Book SynopsisThe award-winning authors of this small book with a big heart delve into Te Papa's collections of over 1600 badges to examine how New Zealanders have used badges to join, belong, resist, defy and celebrate. From protest groups and Girl guides to sports clubs, animal breeds, tino rangatiratanga and suffrage, there has been a pin for almost every New Zealand cause and endeavour. Through different themes, they explore what we've worn over the years and why, and New Zealanders' passion for badges, for 'joining and belonging'. With a lively text and a wide range, this is accessible social history at its best.Trade ReviewExcerpts in the Spinoff review of books. "A treasure trove of Aotearoa history, people and place, told through the medium of the badge."; Art News, Autumn 2023, reviewed by Linda Tyler.Newsroom, reviewed by Steve Braunias. "What gorgeous works of art. I'd rather frame them than wear them ... the badges float in the white pages of Tiny Statements, torn from the bodies of their wearers, left to exist as the bric-a-brac of the New Zealand way of life." ; Kete Books extract of Margaret's magical scarf.; Ensemble magazine, Sunday Star-Times, reviewed by Tyson Beckett. "Like the objects in its pages, Tiny Statements is small but mighty."; NZ Booklovers, reviewed by Lyn Potter. "I recommend this little book as a great conversation starter. It may surprise you ... to discover what kind of badges your friends and relations once wore, what they fought for, achieved, or belonged to."; New Zealand Listener, reviewed by Mark Broatch. "It's a potted history of our protest but of celebration too ... [they are] symbols of our principles, our aspirations, our pride."; Kete's 'What to Read in 2023 Non-Fiction from Aotearoa' list: "Potentially one of Aotearoa's quirkier non-fiction books [for] 2023." ;

Springer Nature Switzerland AG A Separate Authority (He Mana Motuhake), Volume
Book SynopsisThis book is an ethnohistorical reconstruction of the establishment in New Zealand of a rare case of Maori home-rule over their traditional domain, backed by a special statute and investigated by a Crown commission the majority of whom were Tūhoe leaders. However, by 1913 Tūhoe home-rule over this vast domain was being subverted by the Crown, which by 1926 had obtained three-quarters of their reserve. By the 1950s this vast area had become the rugged Urewera National Park, isolating over 200 small blocks retained by stubborn Tūhoe "non-sellers". After a century of resistance, in 2014 the Tūhoe finally regained statutory control over their ancestral domain and a detailed apology from the Crown.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction1.

Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften ‘To Be Truly British We Must Be Anti-German’: New
Book SynopsisThis book is a study of the treatment of New Zealand’s German-speaking settlers during the course of the Great War. As with Britain’s other dominions, New Zealand’s German and Austro-Hungarian residents were subject to a raft of legislation which placed restrictions on their employment and activities, while those considered a danger to domestic security found themselves interned for the duration of the conflict. This book examines public, press and political responses to their presence, and describes how patriotic associations, trade organizations, xenophobic politicians and journalists undertook a vigorous anti-alien campaign resulting, in a number of instances, in anti-German riots. Central to this book is an examination of the extent to which proimperial sentiment, concepts of citizenship and national identity, increasing European settlement and a progressively volatile European scene set the tone for the manner with which the dominion’s British settlers treated its enemy alien counterparts. Themes discussed include the public’s reaction to war; the government’s internment policy; the establishment of anti-German trade organizations; and the challenges facing Prime Minister William Massey, whose wish to remain fair and just towards enemy aliens often brought him into direct conflict with the more hostile anti-German elements within New Zealand society.Trade Review«This is a useful addition to the literature of an under-addressed topic, New Zealand’s home front experience in the First World War. Francis has made good use of both documentary and secondary material to produce an interesting study.» (Ian McGibbon, New Zealand International Review 37, 2012/5)Table of ContentsContents: Great War patriotism – Pro-imperialism in New Zealand – Wartime loyalty and citizenship – Xenophobia in the Victorian and Edwardian eras – Ethnic relations in New Zealand – 19th Century European migration to New Zealand – Public opinion during the Great War – Anti-German attitudes during the Great War.

Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Lillian de Lissa, Women Teachers and Teacher
Book SynopsisBeginning with Lillian de Lissa’s career as foundation principal of the Adelaide Kindergarten Training College in Australia (1907–1917) and Gipsy Hill Training College in London (1917–1947), and incorporating the lives and work of her Australian and British graduates, this book illuminates the transnational circulation of knowledge about teacher education and early childhood education in the twentieth century. Acutely aware of anxieties regarding the role of modern women and the social positioning of teachers, students who attended college under de Lissa’s leadership experienced a progressive institutional culture and comprehensive preparation for work as kindergarten, nursery and infant teachers. Drawing on a broad range of archival material, this study explores graduates’ professional and domestic lives, leisure activities and civic participation, from their initial work as novice teachers through diverse life paths to their senior years. Due to the interwar marriage bar, many women teachers married, resigned from paid work and became mothers. The book explores their experiences, along with those of lifelong teachers whose work spread across a range of educational fields and different parts of the world. Although most graduates spent their lives in Australia or England, de Lissa’s personal and professional networks traversed the British dominions and colonies, Europe and the USA, fostering fascinating global connections between people, places and educational ideas. Trade Review«[...] this is a well-researched book which goes beyond the purely educational literature to contextualise the lives of the subjects within the broader experiences of women in the twentieth century as they sought to attain independence and agency within the still powerful constraints on women to achieve them.» (Jane Read, History of Education 46/2017)

De Gruyter Hubbing for Tourists: Airports, Hotels and
Book SynopsisDubai International Airport (DXB), Emirates Airlines, and the Burj al-Arab. Changi International Airport (SIN), Singapore Airlines, and Marina Bay Sands. Chek Lap Kok (HGK), Cathay Pacific, and The Peninsula Hotel. Kingsford Smith (SYD), Qantas Airlines, and the Wentworth Hotel. What do these collective entities have in common? Not only do they link global air hubs with city-centric long-haul airlines and destination-worthy hotels, but they are the product of a distinct strategy to boost tourism development through the synergies created by aviation development. This volume explores the evolution of tourism development through synergies created by airline, airport, and hotel development in the Persian Gulf (namely Dubai); Southeast Asia (primarily Singapore); and East Asia (mainly Hong Kong) during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. These "hubs" included, but went beyond traditional models of hotel development as models for economically viable tourism programs, particularly after World War II. The book also examines how such systems integrated travelers, airlines, and airports in Australasia and Europe, while at the same time competing with imperial systems of airport and airline development. This book illuminates the strategies behind and competition between cities during the current century for air traffic, tourists, and airlines transiting between Europe, Southeast Asia, and Australasia.
