Description

The narrative of the Parihaka community sheds light on a critical period in Aotearoas colonial past. As the government seized their land, Mori communities across the region engaged in non-violent resistance, with Parihaka emerging as a powerful symbol of defiance under the leadership of Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi. Rather than a history of Parihaka itself, Hazel Riseboroughs compelling account delves into the governments systematic efforts to dismantle Mori rights and self-determination. First published in 1989, Days of Darkness is published now in a new edition which includes opening words contributed by the Parihaka community.
