| Summary: | "The narrative of the Parihaka community sheds light on a critical period in Aotearoa's colonial past. As the government seized their land, Mαori 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 Riseborough's compelling account delves into the government's systematic efforts to dismantle Mαori rights and self-determination"--Provided by publisher. |
