Recalling Aotearoa

Examines why cultural and national identity have changed dramatically in New Zealand in 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. Covers: cultural politics and the debate on indigeneity and sovereignty; the role of the Pākehā in postcolonial society; challenges and changes to Māori policy; immigration, national identity and race relations; the politics of multiculturalism, biculturalism, and bi-nationalism; new choices and challenges for Tagata Pasifika.
