Maori People and Autonomy in New Zealand, 1840-2004 Danny KeenanReviewsWhat this collection does offer is a kaleidoscopic range of empirical cases that add up to a solid counter to calls to place political rights for immigrants on the backburner while proritizing economic integration. The essays should prove to be useful for readers interested in critical views of the history of the not-so-kaleidoscopic responses to multiethnic realities by states still clinging to mono-ethnic notions of identity. - Hyung Gu Lynn, University of British Columbia, Canada 'This is a strong book which will give those interested in theories of ethnicity much to think about. The clear, mercifully jargon-free prose will recommend the volume to specialist and novice alike.' - June Teufel Dreyer, University of Miami - East Asia: An International Quarterly What this collection does offer is a kaleidoscopic range of empirical cases that add up to a solid counter to calls to place political rights for immigrants on the backburner while proritizing economic integration.
