Entanglements of Empire: Missionaries, Maori, and the Question of the Body
English
By (author): Tony Ballantyne
In this fascinating study, Tony Ballantyne explores the varying understandings of such concepts as civilization, work, time and space, and gender and the practical consequences of the struggles over these ideas. The encounters in the classroom, chapel, kitchen, and farmyard worked mutually to affect both the M?ori and the English worldviews.
Ultimately, the interest in missionary Christianity among influential M?ori chiefs had far-reaching consequences for both groups. Concluding in 1840 with the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi and the new age it ushered in, Ballantynes book offers important insights into this crucial period of New Zealand history. See more
