"These essays form an anthropological study of contemporary Māori culture. The title invokes the wider arena of power, inequality and patronage in which every culture can be understood. ... The Māori Renaissance of the past two decades is considered. The author examines a key paradox underlying the Renaissance- the flowering of Māori culture and influence in the wider society has been matched by social deterioation by most Māori. With reference to the university in society, [the auhtor] asks whether the increasing enrolment, employment and cultural prominence of Māori might be as much a part of the nationalist capitalist 'restructuring' of the market economy as it is a renaissance of Māori culture. This is a challenging set of essays which questions many of the assumptions upon which our present understanding of New Zealand society rest."--Back cover.

‘Us Maoris used to practice slavery just like them poor Negroes had to endure in America . . .' says Beth Heke in Once Were Warriors. ‘Oh those evil colonials who destroyed Maori culture by ending slavery and cannibalism while increasing the life expectancy,' wrote one sarcastic blogger. So was Maori slavery ‘just like' the experience of Africans in the Americas and were British missionaries or colonial administrators responsible for ending the practice? What was the nature of freedom and unfreedom in Maori society and how did that intersect with the perceptions of British colonists and the anti-slavery movement? A meticulously researched book, Outcasts of the Gods? looks closely at a huge variety of evidence to answer these questions, analyzing bondage and freedom in traditional Maori society; the role of economics and mana in shaping captivity; and how the arrival of colonists and new trade opportunities transformed Maori society and the place of captives within it.

The tangihanga (ceeremonial surrounding death) was the central ceremonial event in Maori culture and although much changed it remains its importance in Maori culture today. This study pieces together, from the records made by early visitors to New Zealand, the structure of Maori death ceremonial. It shows the inter-relationships of the tangihanga with the religious, political and economic life of Maoris in the periods of earliest Contact. Since 1860 profound changes in Maori culture have occured. In spite of this, the tangihanga persists as an important symbol of Maori cultural unity. The author discusses these changes and their significance in modern Maori culture.
