| Summary: | "The essays in this collection stand alongside Judith Binney's ... histories of the Urewera and its people. Her writings reach out from these central texts, exploring sidepaths, offering other stories, presenting glimpses tangential to her historical narratives. The people we meet in the books: Rua Kenana and Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki, their colleagues and supporters, their wives and descendants; the remarkable leaders of the Urewera; the schoolteachers from Maungapohatu; the government men. Research on the early missionaries, too, has brought insights to their disorienting encounters with the Māori world. Tracing the tohunga Papahurihia through early documents places this elusive leader more centrally in the historical record. The stories in this collection are just that: narratives that flow one into another, filling out histories, bringing people out of the shadows, making scholarship live."--Back cover. |
