Book Synopsis Dancing with the King by : Michael Belgrave
Download or read book Dancing with the King written by Michael Belgrave and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 719 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the battle of Orakau in 1864 and the end of the war in the Waikato, Tawhiao, the second Maori King, and his supporters were forced into an armed isolation in the Rohe Potae, the King Country. For the next twenty years, the King Country operated as an independent state – a land governed by the Maori King where settlers and the Crown entered at risk of their lives. Dancing with the King is the story of the King Country when it was the King's country, and of the negotiations between the King and the Queen that finally opened the area to European settlement. For twenty years, the King and the Queen's representatives engaged in a dance of diplomacy involving gamesmanship, conspiracy, pageantry and hard headed politics, with the occasional act of violence or threat of it. While the Crown refused to acknowledge the King's legitimacy, the colonial government and the settlers were forced to treat Tawhiao as a King, to negotiate with him as the ruler and representative of a sovereign state, and to accord him the respect and formality that this involved. Colonial negotiators even made Tawhiao offers of settlement that came very close to recognising his sovereign authority. Dancing with the King is a riveting account of a key moment in New Zealand history as an extraordinary cast of characters – Tawhiao and Rewi Maniapoto, Donald McLean and George Grey – negotiated the role of the King and the Queen, of Maori and Pakeha, in New Zealand.

Book Synopsis Recovering Our Ancestral Foodways by : Mariaelena Huambachano
Download or read book Recovering Our Ancestral Foodways written by Mariaelena Huambachano and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Recovering Our Ancestral Foodways is the first relational ethnography of Quechua and Måaori peoples' philosophies of well-being, traditional ecological knowledge, and contributions to sustainable food systems. Based on over ten years of fieldwork in Peru and Aotearoa New Zealand, this book explores how Quechua and Måaori peoples describe, define, and enact well-being through the lens of foodways. By analyzing how two Indigenous communities operationalize knowledge to promote sustainable food systems, physical and spiritual well-being, and community health, Mariaelena Huambachano unearths a powerful philosophy of food sovereignty called the Chakana/Maahutonga. Huambachano argues that this Indigenous food sovereignty framework offers a foundation for understanding the practices and policies needed to transform the global food system to nourish the world and preserve the Earth. One of the key features of this book, written for Indigenous communities, students, and scholars, is the development of the author's original research methodology, called the Khipu Model, which will serve as a vital resource for future research on Indigenous ways of knowing"--
Book Synopsis Hawaiian Mythology by : Martha Warren Beckwith
Download or read book Hawaiian Mythology written by Martha Warren Beckwith and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ku and Hina—man and woman—were the great ancestral gods of heaven and earth for the ancient Hawaiians. They were life's fruitfulness and all the generations of mankind, both those who are to come and those already born. The Hawaiian gods were like great chiefs from far lands who visited among the people, entering their daily lives sometimes as humans or animals, sometimes taking residence in a stone or wooden idol. As years passed, the families of gods grew and included the trickster Maui, who snared the sun, and fiery Pele of the volcano. Ancient Hawaiians lived by the animistic philosophy that assigned living souls to animals, trees, stones, stars, and clouds, as well as to humans. Religion and mythology were interwoven in Hawaiian culture; and local legends and genealogies were preserved in song, chant, and narrative. Martha Beckwith was the first scholar to chart a path through the hundreds of books, articles, and little-known manuscripts that recorded the oral narratives of the Hawaiian people. Her book has become a classic work of folklore and ethnology, and the definitive treatment of Hawaiian mythology. With an introduction by Katherine Luomala.

Book Synopsis Revivalistics by : Ghil'ad Zuckermann
Download or read book Revivalistics written by Ghil'ad Zuckermann and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Ghil'ad Zuckermann introduces revivalistics, a new trans-disciplinary field of enquiry surrounding language reclamation, revitalization, and reinvigoration. Applying lessons from the Hebrew revival of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to contemporary endangered languages, Zuckermann takes readers along a fascinating and multifaceted journey into language revival and provides new insights into language genesis. Beginning with a critical analysis of Israeli-the language resulting from the Hebrew revival-Zuckermann's radical theory contradicts conventional accounts of the Hebrew revival and challenges the family tree model of historical linguistics. Revivalistics demonstrates how grammatical cross-fertilization with the revivalists' mother tongues is inevitable in the case of successful "revival languages." The second part of the book then applies these lessons from the Israeli language to revival movements in Australia and globally, describing the "why" and "how" of revivalistics. With examples from the Barngarla Aboriginal language of South Australia, Zuckermann proposes ethical, aesthetic, and utilitarian reasons for language revival and offers practical methods for reviving languages. Based on years of the author's research, fieldwork, and personal experience with language revivals all over the globe, Revivalistics offers ground-breaking theoretical and pragmatic contributions to the field of language reclamation, revitalization, and reinvigoration.

Book Synopsis Ethnographies in Pan Pacific Research by : Robert E. Rinehart
Download or read book Ethnographies in Pan Pacific Research written by Robert E. Rinehart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is about exciting ethnographic happenings in the vibrant and growing global interface which includes Australia, New Zealand, and some of the Asian geographical regions, as well as - more broadly - the global South. It explores ethnographic writing as culture(s) (re)produced, positionalities of authors, tensions between authors and others, multi-faceted groups, and as co-productions of these works. The contributors describe and discuss a variety of topical areas of interest, from Facebook to memory work, from children's sexuality to urban racism, from meanings of Indigenous knowledge to how communities can come together to retain what is valuable to themselves. The authors also manage to locate themselves and others (positionings) in the research hierarchies (tensions). This is a valuable guide to the effects of 21st-century ethnography on the qualitative research project.
