Rere Atu, Taku Manu!: Discovering History, Language, and Politics in the Maori Language Newspapers, 1842-1933 Overview
The result of a three-year research and translation project, these 12 essays on topics ranging from linguistics to politics provide valuable insight into the colonial experience of the indigenous people of New Zealand. Comprising some 35 publications produced between 1842 and the 1930s that played a major role in indigenous Maori communities for nearly 100 years, the newspapers are a substantial but scarcely tapped source of Maori and New Zealand history and a remarkable record of an indigenous language in print in colonial times.
