Description
Book SynopsisAn examination of the last three decades of the 20th century in New Zealand and the shifts in the relationship between the indigenous Maori people and the dominant Pakeha (white) society. It seeks to illustrate the fundamental changes to national political, social and economic structures.
Trade ReviewThis book makes an important and innovative contribution to the critical analysis of commercial enterprises by neotribal Maori organisations in recent New Zealand history. . . . [It] will no doubt become a landmark in the field of contemporary Maori studies. -- Toon van Meijl, University of Nijmegen
This work is extraordinary in a perfectly literal way. It goes well beyond the ordinary kind of discourse that is produced about indigenous movements and their outcomes. Rata's unswerving and systemic focus on the consequences [of such movements] will provide a sounding board and a source of understanding for those most deeply committed to the cause of indigenous peoples. -- Jonathan Friedman, directeur d'études, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris; professor of social anthropology, Lund University
