| Summary |
"With questions of land, identity and culture being debated in Aotearoa/New Zealand during the past few decades, historians have increasingly turned their attention to the detailed study of the nineteenth century. Eager to pursue this new direction, recent history graduates have produced valuable research that justifies wider availability to the community. These essays by students of the University of Otago's History Department have the Maori history of the South Island - Te Wai Pounamu - as their focus. They provide accounts of prominent people and significant events within the larger context of Maori/Pakeha relations."--BOOK JACKET |
