Conflict and compromise

"Conflict and Compromise represents a landmark in considering race relations in New Zealand just prior to the current Treaty of Waitangi settlement process. Contributions by eight leading academics, including Michael Jackson, Gilda Misur and Ranginui Walker are brought together by the distinguished leader of Ngati Whatua, Sir Hugh Kawharu, to provide case studies of conflicts and compromises in relations between Maori and Pakeha. Topics include literacy in the nineteenth century, Maori prophet movements, aspects of early development, Maori work behaviour, Maori religion in the city suburbs, and race relations in timber towns"--Publisher's description.
