Book excerpt: Ki te Whaiao: An Introduction to Māori Culture and Society, is intended for students of Māori studies at tertiary institutions. It is also aimed at several other audiences: those Māori who want to know more about their own world, Pākehā living in this country, and people from overseas who want to learn about the history of the Indigenous people of Aotearoa/New Zealand. The book describes traditional and contemporary Māori society and its interaction with Pākehā society since first contact. It gives expression to the voices and words of Māori scholars and those informed by their world-view. Emphasis has been placed on the clarification of Māori cultural concepts throughout, in order to give readers a deeper understanding of the Māori world and to excite their interest in the key themes developed throughout the text. The book has been arranged in two parts Part one is called Te Ao Māori (The Māori World) and examines a series of topics encompassing tribal histories about the creation,important cultural concepts, the migration journeys to Aotearoa, the origins of the Māori language, cultural traditions and practices, leadership and Māori performing and fine arts. Part two, Ngā Ao e Rua (The Two Worlds) examines early contact between Māori and Pākehā, the Treaty and related issues, religion, sovereignty, education and literature, and ends with a chapter on the Pacific peoples in Aotearoa/New Zealand.

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: The paper tracks the prevalence of social problems among Maori as a proportion of the population from the earliest recorded statistics through to the present. It finds that Maori were not always over-represented in dole queues, prisons and the courts, in high rates of gambling and alcohol addiction, youth suicide, substance abuse and smoking. Author Lindsay Mitchell notes that this may in part be an effect of Pakeha officially ignoring Maori health and welfare problems - for example, Maori ex-nuptial births were not documented until the 1960s, Maori were not included in Census unemployment data before 1951, and welfare benefits were either not available at all to Maori or were paid at lower rates until 1946. "Despite these issues and attitudes, it is clear that Maori were at some point not as widely afflicted by the social problems that many experience today. Furthermore, while Maori have generally become more prosperous, are better educated and live longer, it appears that the socio-economic and skills gap within Maoridom is greater now than that between Maori and non-Maori", Mrs Mitchell said. Maori and Welfare goes on to explore the role welfare policies have played in both creating and perpetuating this gap, and why the associated social dysfunction and crime are more prevalent among Maori. Among the problems considered are the disproportionately high rate among Maori of crime and incarceration, drug and alcohol abuse; teenage births and single parenthood, child abuse, and unemployment.
