Description

Two Worlds: First meetings between Maori and Europeans 1642-1772 by Anne Salmond. 'This book is a provocative synthesis of two previously separate views of the dramatic, action-packed first meeting of Maori and Europeans in New Zealand. Focusing on the first meetings of Maoris and Europeans from 1642 to 1722, this book reassesses accounts of early meetings between these two worlds, which have been told almost exclusively from the European perspective. Drawing upon local tribal knowledge as well as European accounts, the author shows both sets of protagonists actively pursuing their own practical, political and mythological agenda.' The dust jacket has light general wear with some sun fade down the spine and small stain spots but the book remains in a tight and bright condition. A VERY LARGE BOOK THAT WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FREIGHT.
