Reviews

This book makes an important and innovative contribution to the critical analysis of commercial enterprises by neotribal Maori organisations in recent New Zealand history. . . . [It] will no doubt become a landmark in the field of contemporary Maori studies.
*Toon van Meijl, University of Nijmegen*

This work is extraordinary in a perfectly literal way. It goes well beyond the ordinary kind of discourse that is produced about indigenous movements and their outcomes. Rata's unswerving and systemic focus on the consequences [of such movements] will provide a sounding board and a source of understanding for those most deeply committed to the cause of indigenous peoples.
