Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revolutionary Nonviolence: Concepts, Cases and Controversies provides an advanced introduction to the central philosophy, ideas, themes, controversies and challenges of applying revolutionary nonviolence in political struggles today, with a particular emphasis on reframing nonviolence through a postcolonial lens. Bringing together an eminent group of researchers and activist-scholars, this collection focuses on a number of important questions: Is a commitment to radical nonviolence a necessity for generating revolutionary change in society? Should revolutionary movements abandon their reliance on political violence as a tool of change? What are some of the practical and theoretical challenges of adopting revolutionary nonviolence today? What can we learn from groups, actors and cases of people who have used revolutionary nonviolence to struggle against injustice? With a mix of theoretical and case study based chapters, the volume explores these and other important questions about how to generate necessary and lasting revolutionary change today.

  • Author : Tony Sole
  • Publisher : Huia Publishers
  • Release : 2005
  • ISBN : 9781869691806
  • Pages : 556 pages

Download or read book Ng ti Ruanui written by Tony Sole and published by Huia Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eloquent and detailed Taranki history has grown out of research for the Ngati Ruanui tribal treaty claim against the New Zealand Crown. From pre-Hawaiki times it follows the Aotea canoe from Ranigatea in the Pacific to New Zealand Aotearoa and the settlement of Turi and his people at Patea. The battles and alliances over the centuries and the rich and varied Ngati Ruanui history form the narrative background for the arrival of Pakeha from Europe and the devastation and land confiscations that followed. The story of the successful negotiation of the Ngati Ruanui treaty settlement and the creation of Te Rananga o Ngati Ruanui is told here for the first time. The central theme of this important book is the unwavering determination of the Ngati Ruanui tribe to hold on to their land and their autonomy.

  • Pages : 136 pages

Download or read book Waiata written by and published by Raupo. This book was released on 1991 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In waiata our forebears spoke their hearts - in grief and celebration. For many hundreds of years this great oral tradition of song flourished in Aotearoa. During the second half of the nineteenth century, in times of rapid change, maori scholars recorded for the future the words of thousands of waiata. In this anthology, Margaret Orbell places waiata of the nineteenth century in their social and political setting, conveying the poets' responses to their people's trauma. There is a fascinating richness of detail here about traditional Maori life, with insights into the lives of ordinary people as well as into tribal relations and the interaction between Maori and Pakeha. Table of contents: * Lament for a Rangatira * Te Ika-here-ngutu's Lament for His Children * Love Song * Te Rarawa-i-te-rangi's Protest * The Song about Turner's House * Lament for Tamati Tara-hawaiki * Te Whare-pouri's Lament for Nuku-pewpewa * Lament for Te Iwi-ika * Kahoki's Song for Petera Te Puku-atua * Lament for Ngaro * Mihi-ki-te-kapua's Song for Her Daughter * Tatai's Song for Te Toa-haere * Rangiamoa's Lament for Te Wano * The Exile's Lament * Puhiwahine's Song about Her Lovers * Football Song * Song for Te Whiti * Lament for Parata.

  • ISBN : 9780473539047
  • Pages : 327 pages

Download or read book Pathways of Taranaki written by Tom O'Connor and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historical novel on the life of New Zealand's legendary fighting leader Te Rauparaha in the early 1800's. Pathways of Taranaki is the sequel to Tides of Kawhia and the prequel to Shadows of Kapiti. The trilogy reveals the little known and fascinating true stories of New Zealand's Maori history at the time of early European arrival, especially Te Rauparaha and his tribe Ngati Toarangatira (Ngati Toa). Told through the eyes of a fictional character Te Rou Rou, the story draws on extensive written histories, oral traditions, ancient songs and knowledgeable elders. The tales of heroism, treachery, Maori cultural norms of the time and the spiritual influences on tribal life are all historically accurate. Driven from their ancestral homelands of Kawhia and Taharoa by powerful Waikato and Ngati Maniapoto tribes, Ngati Toa set out on a forced-migration south towards their promised new home in the Manawatu and Horowhenua. To get there they must pass through the difficult and dangerous Taranaki lands bringing everyone with them including children, the elderly and injured. Also included from eye witness accounts is the famous single combat contest between the Waikato leader Te Wherowhero, who became Potatau (the first Maori king), and several dozen of the best fighters Te Ati Awa could muster. This duel is recognised as being without equal in our history. The author pulls no punches and tells it like it was, violent, bloody, sad and inspiring.

Book Salutary Punishment

Download or read book Salutary Punishment written by Ian Church and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title Salutary Punishment is deliberately provoking and patronizing. It is quoted from a statement made by Lieutenant-Colonel St John in 1873, speaking of the Otago Prisoners. An example of the unfortunate state of our Nation at the time. In November 2019 it will be 150 years since 74 men from Te Pakakohi tribe in the Patea area were sent to Dunedin as prisoners of the Crown. By putting tribal allegiance first Pakakohi automatically became guilty of treason. A decade later 137 Parihaka men received the same prison sentence for ploughing their confiscated land as a sign of passive resistance to this action. These were dark days in the history of our country, but the telling of these times is more important today than ever. Ka mua, ka muri; we must look back in order to move forward.
