| Summary: | This book offers Pakeha New Zealanders an insight into Māori thought and values and the basis for the sort of understanding and partnership that should exist between Pakeha and Maori. It also presents a new perspective from which long-held Pakeha values can be reassessed. John Patterson attempts, as an investigative philosopher, to come to grips with personal, embedded limitations that inform any look into one world-view from the perspective of another. He demonstrates a high degree of empathy with and respect for Māori and the book offers a practical model for engagement with this culture and for greater mutual understanding. |
