Tangata Whenua - Face to face
order quantity
NZ$ 37.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Terri Kessell
In this book – the second in the Tangata Whenua series – students will explore New Zealand’s past in the context of classical Maori culture and first contact with Europeans. These took place in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and had a strong influence on later events such as the Treaty of Waitangi. The events and consequences of these interactions form essential learning about New Zealand’s heritage and culture, both in the past and for the future. Students will gain a deeper understanding of New Zealand’s cultural dynamics.

Asia in the Making of New Zealand
order quantity
NZ$ 50.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Henry Johnson & Brian Moloughney (eds)
These ten essays from a range of different authors and perspectives explore how the burgeoning Asian population of New Zealand is affecting our understanding of Asia and altering the way we see our own identity. Five chapters consider historical links between New Zealand and some Asian countries; five look at Asian aspects of contemporary kiwi culture, from the Indonesian gamelan, Indian identity, Muslim traditions as exemplified in the ‘burqa’ case, to Chinese and Korean use of the media. The book is a thoughtful and illuminating discussion of the rapidly changing, creative and dynamic multi-cultural society in which we now live.
First published March 2007.

Ethnicity identity and public policy: critical perspectives on multiculturalism/David Bromell
order quantity
NZ$ 35.00 each
Author:
David Bromell
Dop 2008, Wellington
339pp
softcover
In Ethnicity, Identity and Public Policy, David Bromell evaluates theory developed in other national contexts against challenges for public policy arising from ethno-cultural diversity in New Zealand. He concludes that this is a time to refine – and complicate – our thinking, and that the task of developing normative theory in relation to diversity and public life is still a work in progress. In Bromell’s view, New Zealand should endorse neither multiculturalism nor biculturalism as official public policy. Instead, he advocates safeguarding individual rights, which all share equally, and a restrained role for the state in ‘managing’ diversity. He argues that reducing inequalities ought to be a higher priority than recognising identities.
