Description
In the first major national history of Aotearoa New Zealand to be published for 20 years, Professor Michael Belgrave advances the notion that New Zealands two peoples tangata whenua and subsequent migrants have together built an open, liberal society based on a series of social contracts. Frayed though they may sometimes be, these contracts have created a country that is distinct. This engaging new look at our history examines how.
Reviews
A peoples history of the country Anna Rankin, RNZ
The stonking new book from historian Michael Belgrave is a joy to read: dont be put off by the size of it, readers will find a fluid, witty voice and a fascinating, fresh look at how Aotearoa, the people, came to be. The Spinoff Review of Books
