Summary: "In TV and Te Tiriti, Leslie gives his perspective on such key aspects of our history as Te Tiriti o Waitangi and The New Zealand Wars, without attempting to re-tell in fine detail ground already well covered by existing excellent histories. Instead he creates an overview of what went badly wrong in New Zealand's bicultural race relations and what has since been achieved in redressing some of the earliest and worst failures. After analysing why this happened, he looks to what he believes should be a promising future. This book highlights the significance of film and television in the Maori protest movement from the 1960s on, why TV has improved understanding of Maori tikanga and grievances, and how much New Zealanders' biracial attitudes have matured as a result. Key print and digital resources for those seeking more in-depth knowledge are listed at the end of this volume."--Https://ubscan.co.nz
