Description

Why care about the past? Why teach, research and write history? In this volume, leading and emerging scholars, activists and those working in the public sector, archives and museums bring their expertise to provide timely direction and informed debate about the importance of history.Primarily concerned with Aotearoa (the Maori name for New Zealand), the essays within traverse local, national and global knowledge to offer new approaches that consider the ability and potential for history to 'make a difference' in the early twenty-first century.

Authors adopt a wide range of methodological approaches, including social, cultural, Maori, oral, race relations, religious, public, political, economic, visual and material history.

The chapters engage with work in postcolonial and cultural studies.The volume is divided into three sections that address the themes of challenging power and privilege, the co-production of historical knowledge and public and material histories.

Collectively, the potential for dialogue across previous sub-disciplinary and public, private and professional divides is pursued.
