Descriere Sustaining Indigeneity in New Zealand: Efforts to Assimilate the Mori 1894-2022 - Steven S. Webster

\nSustaining 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 Māori since the advent of neoliberal policies in the 1980s, with a particular focus on the ways the Māori and their supporters have resisted or subverted these policies. \n \n\n \nTopics covered include: how an idealised version of Māori culture obscured continuing assimilation of the Māori in the 1850s; the Māori renaissance of the later twentieth century; neoliberal subversion of Māori fishing rights; the rise and fall of the Ngāi Tūhoe, 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 Māori. \n \nCovering key episodes of Māori 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.\n
