The State of Māori Rights
Margaret Mutu
From: $55.00
The State of Māori Rights was first published in 2011 and brought together a Māori view of events and issues that occurred between 1994 and 2009 with a direct impact on Māori. This includes the 1994 fiscal envelope policy debate, the 50,000-strong protest march against the foreshore and seabed legislation, the Waitangi Tribunal and its Treaty claims process, and media attacks on Māori MPs.
This edition, revised and updated with new chapters, brings Margaret Mutu’s
The State of Māori Rights through to 2024, a time when Māori rights under the Treaty of Waitangi are once again being violated. Mutu covers Māori responses to COVID-19 and to national disasters such as the White Island eruption and the Christchurch Mosque Attacks on the Muslim community. Māori initiatives and success stories run through these years too, which, in Mutu’s words, ‘encourage us not to lose sight of our ancestors’ vision’.

""Anyone unaware, puzzled, irritated or just plain dismissive of claims for recognition of Māori rights need only dip into this resume to gain some much-needed focus...This is certainly a valuable reference work for anyone working in the field and required reading for those with the faintest pretention to knowledge of the subject.""
""This book holds events up to the current light of day and exposes the underlying racism that has characterised much of successive governments' dealings with Māori issues...Even the contents page is a potted tour of important things that have occured.""
