| Summary: | "If World War One was the crucible that forged an independent New Zealand identity, then the two decades that followed laid the foundation for a new nation as the country shed the last vestiges of colonial society in exchange for the trappings of a modern dominion. This collection of essay traverses the depths of the Great Depression to the bright promise of the welfare state, and shows how the interwar decades transformed New Zealand society, setting the country firmly on its modern course. And how they set a blueprint for state intervention and assistance that remained largely unchallenged for the next 50 years"--Back cover. |
