Description
MICHAEL KING-half Irish, a quarter Scottish and a quarter English-was born in New Zealand. He grew up in the Pakeha New Zealand of the 1940s and 1950s, in which Britain was Home, families were Christian and nuclear, and demonstrations, inflation and racial unrest were things that occurred abroad. He shared this experience with 90 per cent of his countrymen.Unlike most New Zealanders, however, he became dramatically involved in the Maori renaissance of the 1970s and 1980s. He was forced to reassess his assumptions about Maori and Pakeha culture, and to examine his conscience and that of his country on racial issues. This book is the result of that reassessment, and the story behind his Maori histories, biographies and documentaries.ISBN:0340387750
