Racism and ethnicity

Abstract

Turbulent social and economic changes have marked the decades of the 1970s and 1980s in New Zealand. One central change has been the evolving relationship between Maori and Pakeha. The myth that New Zealand race relations are good by world standards has been strongly challenged as the issues of biculturalism, bilingualism, and the implications of the Treaty of Waitangi have been debated. In this book, Paul Spoonley provides an introduction to these debates. He describes the growing emphasis on cultural identity and looks at state policies, from assimilation through to devolution. Readership: students of race relations with particular relation to New Zealand.
