Maori and the State: Crown-Māori relations in New Zealand/Aotearoa, 1950-2000

Preface

Preface

1. Hill, Richard S, State Authority, Indigenous Autonomy: Crown–Maori Relations in New Zealand/Aotearoa 1900–1950, Wellington, 2004. For some preliminary thinking on such issues, see a report for the Crown Forestry Rental Trust: Hill, Richard S, ‘Autonomy and Authority: Rangatiratanga and the Crown in Twentieth Century New Zealand: An Overview’, Wellington, 2000; and for a summary, see my chapter on Crown–Maori relations in The New Oxford History of New Zealand, forthcoming (2009), edited by Giselle Byrnes. The standard text on the Treaty is Claudia Orange’s The Treaty of Waitangi, Wellington, 1987. See also her An Illustrated History of the Treaty of Waitangi, Wellington, 2004, for useful updating on ‘Treaty relationships’.
2. Bhabha, Homi (interviewed by Paul Thompson), ‘Between Identities’, in Benmayor, Rina and Scotnes, Andor (eds), Migration and Identity, Oxford, 1994 (for ‘empowerment’ and ‘autonomy’ quotes); Fanon, Frantz, The Wretched of the Earth, London, 1967; Freire, Paulo, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, New York, 1970 (1986 ed, Ramos trans); Rodney, Walter, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, Washington DC, 1981 (rev ed). See too Smith, Linda Tuhiwai, Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples, Dunedin, 1999.
3. The name given to assimilationist policies changed over time, but, as I argue in my chapter in the New Oxford History of New Zealand, the goals remained essentially the same. See too Harris, Aroha, ‘Dancing with the State: Maori Creative Energy and Policies of Integration, 1945–1967’, PhD thesis, University of Auckland, 2007. For a comment by a leading scholar of Maori issues, Erik Schwimmer,page 296 in 1960, see I H Kawharu, ‘Introduction’, in Brookes, R H and Kawharu, I H (eds), Administration in New Zealand’s Multi-racial Society, Wellington, 1967, p 9. For a different perspective, see Ward, Alan, A Show of Justice: Racial ‘Amalgamation’ in Nineteenth Century New Zealand, Auckland, 1995 (rev ed).
4.Orange, The Treaty of Waitangi, pp 257–9 (for Treaty text). See Ward, Alan, An Unsettled History: Treaty Claims in New Zealand Today, Wellington, 1999, for a modern aspect of Treaty-based relationships – reparations for past breaches by the Crown of the Treaty.
