Download or read book Reinventing Capitalism in New Zealand written by Christopher Wilkes and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-02 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the nineteenth century, Britain bestrode the world. Its domination depended in part on it exporting its social and economic problems to the farthest reaches of the globe. In Aotearoa/New Zealand, Britain’s élite thought they had found a ready-made country in which to re-establish their way of life. This invasion might ease their problems at home, and extend their influence to the edge of the earth. White settlers began to arrive in New Zealand in numbers during the 1840s, and sought to reinvent capitalism in a new land. This book traces the shape of this reinvention, and the slow emergence of New Zealand’s particular form of class structure. The book will be of interest to anyone concerned with the history of capitalism, and its colonial ambitions. It sheds light on the enduring nature of inequality in New Zealand, and where it might originate. Students of political science, sociology, history and cultural studies will find its arguments of interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the twentieth century, Edward Tregear was one of New Zealand's most prominent citizens and widely published intellectuals. He was an authority on M&āori and Polynesian studies, a controversial 'socialist' and secretary of the Department of Labour, and a key player in attempts to form a united political labour movement in New Zealand. He was also a social critic, novelist and poet. This biography traces Tregear's career from his youthful days on the 1860s frontier as an anguished, exiled Briton to his position as eminent antipodean figure singing the praises of 'national culture' in New Zealand.

Download or read book Whare Korero written by Gavin McLean and published by Raupo. This book was released on 2007 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I doubt people of my age would have grown up with such a strong sense of New Zealandness if it hadn't been for Reed Books ... publication by Reeds was a source of great pride', historian Michael King believed. For generations of Kiwis a raupo on the spine of a book has been as much a part of living in New Zealand as quarter-acre sections, hokey-pokey ice cream or jandals. In this eclectic sampling, historian Gavin McLean blows the dust from New Zealand publishing's greatest backlist to serve up more than 80 selections from the Reed vault. The iconic writers - Herbert Guthrie-Smith, Janet Frame, Barry Crump, Denis Glover, Frank Sargeson, Peter Wells, Witi Ihimaera - rub shoulders with the forgotten - C.R. Allen, F.W.G. Miller, Peter Newton, Ruth Gilbert. There's light relief from Pat Lawlor, Mary Scott, Helen Brown, Bob Jones and Richared Hadlee, and searing, gritty writing from R.A.K. Mason, Mary Findlay, Bill Payne and David Brown. We look back at tumultuous events - wars, shipwrecks, the 1981 Springbok tour - examine social issues such as juvenile delinquency, bodgies and gangs, explore Maori culture, popular music and even sample the odd recipe. As Whare Korero shows, Reed isthe voice of New Zealand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past 20 years, Christians around the world have launched initiatives to reach Muslims, Communists, Hindus and other major unreached people groups but the Buddhist world has largely been overlooked. Hundreds of millions of Buddhists continue to live and die without any exposure to the Gospel. In Peoples of the Buddhist World, researcher and author Paul Hattaway graphically presents prayer profiles of more than 200 Buddhist people groups around the world, beautifully illustrated with color pictures throughout. In addition, experts have contributed articles on various aspects of Buddhism, helping the reader to learn, pray and work until that day when "the kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ and he will reign for ever and ever" (Rev. 11:15).--From publisher's description.

Download or read book Colonising Te Whanganui ā Tara and Marketing Wellington, 1840-1849 written by Patricia Thomas and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-08 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the advertising posters, town plans and geographical views that encouraged middle-class emigration to New Zealand in the 1840s. It explores how the New Zealand Company exploited visual literacy to advertise its settlement in Te Whanganui ā Tara Wellington. A tale of two towns, prospective English settlers looked to Wellington to make their homes, while Te Whanganui ā Tara was already home to numerous Māori sub-tribes. The book explores the worlds of each to ask how the images produced by the New Zealand Company were complicit in transferring Māori land into English ownership. Not seeking blame, it works instead to understand, and investigates processes of redress, offering hope for a post post-colonial future in Aotearoa New Zealand. This book will interest scholars and students of migration, visual culture and print history.
