Summary

" In this comprehensive study professor Kawharu emphasizes the effects of the changes that have taken place over the last 150 years. He describes how the fragmentation of remaining land holdings (despite efforts at consolidation) and the rapid post-war urban ization of the Maori people have given rise to a weakening of community bonds and a gradual breakdown in the traditional social structure of the tribe.
