| Summary: | Selections from 19th century Maori-language newspapers in both the original Maori and English translation. "This is one of the more unusual extracts from the nineteenth-century Maori-language newspapers collected in He Pitopito Korero no te Perehi Maori. Remarkable for their insight into the ordinary lives and concerns of Maori, and Pakeha, the letters, editorials, articles, obituaries and advertisements of this collection cover a wide range of the newspapers' content. There are letters and editorials with all the dignity and polished rhetoric of speeches, heated political debates, electioneering, prosaic daily news items and tradesmen's advertisements. One newspaper even includes a report of the death of a favourite cat, and the goings-on at schools and race tracks, women's committees and marae are all reported. Divided into six sections and with the Maori and English texts running side by side, He Pitopito Korero no te Perehi Maori will be useful to students of New Zealand history, Maori language and Maori culture."--BOOK JACKET. |
