Maori and the State: Crown-Maori Relations in New Zealand/Aotearoa, 1950-2000

This book examines the principal interrelationships between the Crown and Maori through the 1950s and 60s, when Crown assimilationist policies intensified, and in the period from the 1970s, when the pressure of the ‘Maori Renaissane’ encouraged policies and goals based upon biculturalism (although Crown motivations were and remain problematic).
