POLITICS OF THE NEW ZEALAND MAORI Protest and Cooperation, 1891–1909 by John A. Williams The Young Maori Party, led by Apirana Ngata, Maui Pomare, Te Rangi Hiroa, Reweti Kohere, Tutere Wirepa, and others, is well remembered But it did not arise in isolation. The 1890s and 1900s were decades of intense political activity. From the Kotahitanga movement arose a Maori Parliament which met annually for eleven years. The government, on their side, set up Maori Councils. The pattern of cooperation in the national government combined with separate political activity, which was established at that time, has held good to the present day. This important book, by an American Fulbright scholar, recounts the story. Illustrated $7.75 From good booksellers AUCKLAND UNIVERSITY PRESS OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
