Contents:
CHAPTER I: An overview of Māori and New Zealand history -- CHAPTER II: Māori lives in Auckland -- CHAPTER III: The Marae: a symbol of continuity -- CHAPTER IV: Ways of life in a Māori house -- CHAPTER V: The whānau, past and present -- CHAPTER VI: A practical universe of meanings -- CHAPTER VII: At the heart of a politics of differentiation -- CONCLUSION: Interconnected places and autonomous spaces.
Summary: One of the first ethnographic studies of Māori urbanization since the 1970s, this book is based on almost two years of fieldwork, living with Māori families, and more than 250 hours of interviews. In contrast with studies that have focused on indigenous elites and official groups and organizations, Being Māori in the City shines a light on the lives of ordinary individuals and families. Using this approach, Natacha Gagné adroitly underlines how indigenous ways of being are maintained and even strengthened through change and openness to the larger society.
