Summary

Illustrated with paintings and photographs, it tells the story of two communities, Maori and Pakeha, over the years 1820-1920. While Maori and Pakeha shared many activities and pleasures - from community brass bands to the new trade union movement, from a day at the races to a yarn in the shearing shed - the two stories here show that they saw their mutual history through very different eyes.
The People and the Land/Te Tangata me Te Whenua reveals conflicting understandings of the past, but makes possible too the bridging of such differences through knowledge.
Together, text and images (many in full colour) create a stunning new presentation of New Zealand history. First published in 1990, The People and the Land/Te Tangata me Te Whenua is now reprinted for both general readers and students of New Zealand history.
