{"product_id":"wars-without-end-nzs-land-wars-a-maori-perspective","title":"Wars Without End: NZ's Land Wars - A Maori Perspective","description":"From the earliest days of European settlement in New Zealand, Maori have struggled to hold on to their land.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Tensions began early, arising from disputed land sales. When open conflict between Maori and Imperial forces broke out in the 1840s and 1860s, the struggles only intensified. For both sides, land was at the heart of the conflict, one that casts a long shadow over race relations in modern-day New Zealand.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWars Without End\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to approach this contentious subject from a Maori point of view, focusing on the Maori resolve to maintain possession of customary lands and explaining the subtleties of an ongoing and complex conflict.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Written by senior Maori historian Danny Keenan, \u003ci\u003eWars Without End\u003c\/i\u003e eloquently and powerfully describes the Maori reasons for fighting the Land Wars, placing them in the wider context of the Maori struggle to retain their sovereign estates.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Land Wars might have been quickly forgotten by Pakeha, but for Maori these longstanding struggles are wars without end.","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43581624516805,"sku":"","price":40.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/Wars_20Without_20End.jpg?v=1716561797","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/wars-without-end-nzs-land-wars-a-maori-perspective","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
