Sustaining Indigeneity in New Zealand : Efforts to Assimilate the Maori 1894-2022 PDF
by Webster Steven S. Webster
Description
Sustaining Indigeneity in New Zealand is a revised collection of ten essays by Steven Webster, all written since 1998. Collectively they address national policies and indigeneity movements through a lens of class inequality. Webster describes efforts to assimilate the MÄori since the advent of neoliberal policies in the 1980s, with a particular focus on the ways the MÄori and their supporters have resisted or subverted these policies.
Topics covered include: how an idealised version of MÄori culture obscured continuing assimilation of the MÄori in the 1850s; the MÄori renaissance of the later twentieth century; neoliberal subversion of MÄori fishing rights; the rise and fall of the NgÄi TÅ«hoe, who won control of their ancestral lands under a benevolent administration but then lost it under a predatory successor; and commodity fetishism and the ways commodification is resisted and even turned back against the government by the MÄori.
Covering key episodes of MÄori indigeneity movements, the book will be of interest to activists and scholars, as well as undergraduate and graduate students of anthropology, history, sociology, political studies, and ethnic studies.
