About this Item: Reed, Wellington, 1977. Stiff Card. Condition: Very Good. 160 pages with monochrome illustrations. 250 grams. Book is in very good condition marked only by gift inscription on first page. 'This book is addressed to a general audience seeking to understand the Maori view of life. In the first part, the pre-European culture is reviewed, with more attention to Maori thought and philosophy of life than is usual in such general surveys. In the material on kinship, economics, warfare, art, and music, available scholarly studies have been closely followed. The second part gives a brief history of the post-contact period and a survey of the contemporary Maori situation. This is a reprint of the book which first appeared in 1966. Although a decade has passed, the aurthor's insights and judgements on the Maori situation, in relation to the dominant Pakeha society, are even more timely and relevant today. This book, written with compasion and understanding, is an important contribution to the present debate on the position of the Maori within New Zealand society.' 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
