Sinopsis

Maori Wars explores the 19th-century conflicts between the Maori, New Zealand's indigenous people, and British settlers, a clash profoundly shaping the nation's identity. It examines complex issues like land rights, breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi, and colonial expansion, revealing the Maori's fierce resistance against the British Empire's military might. The book argues these wars were more than battles; they represented the Maori's struggle for cultural survival, challenging narratives of inevitable colonial dominance and highlighting their resilience.

 
The book unfolds chronologically, starting with pre-colonial Maori society and the Treaty of Waitangi. It then analyzes escalating tensions, key battles, and the wars' aftermath, assessing the impact on Maori land ownership, political representation, and cultural identity. Through primary and secondary sources, including personal letters and oral histories, Maori Wars provides a balanced account of the cultural conflict, emphasizing the importance of understanding historical injustices to address contemporary issues of inequality and reconciliation in New Zealand.

    “Fromm’s developing thought merits the critical attention of all concerned with the human condition and its future.” —The Washington Post The essays in this fascinating volume examine present-day psychological and cultural problems with the keen insight and humanistic sympathies characteristic of Erich Fromm’s work.The Dogma of Christ provides some of the sharpest critical insights into how the contemporary world of human destructiveness and violence can no longer separate religion, psychology, and politics. The book brilliantly summarizes Fromm’s ideas on how culture and society shape our behavior. “It’s the new post-religious theme song. The Fromm exhortations are imaginative and he has a definite audience.” —Kirkus Reviews “Of all the psychological theorists who have tried to formulate a system better than Freud’s to approach problems of contemporary life, no one has been more creative or influential than Erich Fromm. He is the most articulate advocate on the role of social forces in molding our character and on our manner of relating to others. This volume is an expansion of his systematic doctrine.” —Louis L. Lunsky, MD, Archives of Internal Medicine
