Book excerpt: A sweeping historical novel set in nineteenth-century New Zealand from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author. The only son of a poor British coal miner, Robert Coffin sets sail for the far ends of the Earth in search of his fortune, leaving his young bride and infant child behind in England. In the sordid and dangerous South Pacific port of Kororareka, on the sprawling island the native Maori call “the Land of the Long White Cloud,” Coffin builds a successful new life as a merchant. He gains an unwavering respect for the aboriginal people and their culture, and finds comfort in the arms of his fiery Irish mistress, Mary. But the unexpected arrival of a China-bound clipper bearing his wife, Holly, and son, Christopher, throws Coffin’s world into turmoil—compounded by the ever-increasing tension between the Maori tribes and the mistrusted “pakehas” who are plundering their land. As the years of a volatile nineteenth century progress, the indomitable family of the stalwart adventurer the Maori have named “Iron Hair” will struggle, sacrifice, and endure through war, chaos, catastrophe, and change.

Book excerpt: "It has been recorded that old pre-Maori hsitorical sites have been deliberately destroyed using bulldozers to cover burial cave sites, flattening stone walls and ancient buildings. These factual sites have been carbon dated and are believed to be approximately 5000 years old. Why? Today we have separatism, a racial problem brought on by political blundering, s o much so that the native born New Zealanders within this country are now really upset for good reason. Why? It wasnt so long ago in the mid-seventies that New Zealand was voted the third best country in the world, but how things have changed. What happened ; where did we go terribly wrong?"--Back cover

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting the most recent research and written by an expert in the field, this examination explores the principal interrelationships between the British Crown and the Maori people in the 1950s and 1960s when Crown assimilation policies intensified—and during the 1970s—when the pressure of the Maori renaissance encouraged policies and goals based on biculturalism. A subject central to New Zealand's culture, this is an important and historical analysis of the country and the wider issue of indigenous peoples' rights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book maps official endeavours to meet Maori health needs during the first hundred years of organised European settlement in New Zealand. Focusing on policy initiative rather than health outcomes, Maori Health and Government Policy explores four major themes: the administration and funding of Maori health,; the association between Maori and hospitals; the subsidised medical officers who provided primary health care; and infection control and the sanitary measures. Other topics include the role of missionary medicine in the 1840s and 1850s and Maori health research.
Download or read book Being Maori Chinese written by Manying Ip and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2008-06-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting the stories behind several generations of seven Maori-Chinese families whose voices have seldom been heard before, this account casts a fascinating light on the historical and contemporary relations between Maori and Chinese in New Zealand. The two groups first came into contact in the late 19th century and often lived and interacted closely, leading to intermarriage and large families. By the 1930s, proximity and similarities had brought many Maori-Chinese families together, the majority of whom had to deal with cultural differences and discrimination. The growing political confidence of Maori since the 1970s and the more recent tensions around Asian immigration have put pressure on the relationship and the families’ dual identities. Today’s Maori-Chinese, reaffirming their multiple roots and cultural advantages, are playing increasingly important roles in New Zealand society. This account is oral history at its most compelling—an absorbing read for anyone interested in the complex yet rewarding topic of cultural interactions between indigenous and immigrant groups.
