Description: "Cultural and national identity have changed dramatically in New Zealand during the latter part of the twentieth century, with the emergence of policies on biculturalism, the development of new immigrant communities, and the increased focus on the Treaty of Waitangi and the settlement of Treaty claims. Recalling Aotearoa: Indigenous Politics and Ethnic Relations in New Zealand examines why these changes have occurred and the nature of the politics involved, and considers new directions for New Zealand as a nation." "Recalling Aotearoa is intended for a broad audience. It will appeal to students of sociology, politics, policy, history, education, social work, and nursing, and to policy analysts, social service agencies, and anyone with an interest in New Zealand's changing society."--Jacket.
