History

Updated and revised for this edition, Maori is the comprehensive history of the Maori people of New Zealand yet published. It combines the startling conclusions of contemporary scholarship with a range of pictures illustrating almost every aspect of Maori life since the advent of photography. Maori presents a stimulating account of how Maori life changed in response to a European presence, and of why Maori culture survived in the face of enormous odds against it. It is a startling overview of where New Zealand has come from and where it is heading.
