The Parihaka Album: Lest We Forget
order quantity
NZ$ 50.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Rachel Buchanan
A photo album doesn't tell the whole story of a family, and this book doesn't tell the whole story of Parihaka. Rather, it is a collection of snapshots, a patchwork quilt, a scrapbook. "The Parihaka Album: Lest We Forget" blends the personal and the historical. It tracks the author Rachel Buchanan's discovery of her family's links with Parihaka and her Maori and Pakeha ancestors' roles in the early days of the city that is now Parihaka.

Bravo, Neu Zeeland: Two Maori in Vienna 1859-1860
order quantity
NZ$ 35.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Helen M. Hogan
Wanting to know what it was like for Mäori as Päkehä settlers arrived in New Zealand in the nineteenth century, sparked Helen Hogan’s interest in Mäori language manuscripts. The Mäori language scholar studied accounts of 14 Mäori journeys for her PhD thesis, which was completed when she was 72.
One of the manuscripts was a journal written by Hemara Te Rerehau, who together with his Tainui kinsman, Wiremu Toetoe sailed to Europe in 1859 on the Austrian frigate Novara. The journal, which records Te Rerehau’s impressions of nine months in Vienna, forms the central part of Hogan’s 2003 book Bravo, Neu Zeeland-Two Mäori in Vienna 1859-1860 (published by Clerestory Press in Christchurch).
While in Vienna, Te Rerehau and Toetoe met the Emperor Franz Josef and learned printing and engraving in the Imperial Printery. They also met Queen Victoria and were responsible for the gifting and transport of the printing press for the King ...

Captured by Maori: White Female Captives, Sex and Racism on the Nineteenth-Century New Zealand Frontier
order quantity
NZ$ 35.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Trevor Bentley
The capture of white women by Maori in the nineteenth century was often accompanied by high hysteria and moral outrage.
Trevor Bentley
tells these women’s stories, including those of Charlotte Badger, Ann Morley, Caroline Perrett and Elizabeth Guard, exploring contemporary myths that all of these women were mistreated and held against their will. The white settler population was at once fascinated and appalled by these stories: what did the women have to do to survive, how did they live and, well, what about sex? The settlers were obsessed with the virtue of these women and in the retelling of their experiences most enjoyable aspects of living with Maori were suppressed. Bentley reveals that two of these women actually chose to remain in the Maori world.
A fascinating book on a neglected aspect of New Zealand history.

Maoriland Stories - out of print
order quantity
NZ$ 25.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Alfred A. (Alfred Augustus) Grace
Alfred Augustus Grace was one of New Zealand's most accomplished early writers and a member of the celebrated 'Maoriland' school of writing that flourished between 1896 and 1915. These writers' romantic treatment of the Maori people helped shape New Zealand's culture in the early twentieth century.
Maoriland Stories (1895) was Grace's first major publication. It contains four stories about settlers and three about Maori and Maori/Pakeha relations. The latter stories were of particular interest to readers of the time. Although New Zealand's population was by then overwhelmingly European, the Maori people and their culture continued to occupy the Pakeha imagination.
This near-facsimile edition includes new matierial by Dr Anne Maxwell of the University of Melbourne, discussing the author and his stories and placing them in an historical and cultural context.
