| book description |
Taking readers to the farms and factories, the marae and churches where MÄori lived, worked and raised their families, Te Hau KÄinga tells the story of the profound transformation in MÄori life during the Second World War. While the MÄori Battalion fought overseas, the MÄori War Effort Organisation and its tribal committees engaged MÄori men and women throughout Aotearoa in the home guard, the women’s auxiliary forces, and national agricultural and industrial production. MÄori mobilisation was an exercise of rangatiratanga and it changed how MÄori engaged with the state. And, as MÄori men and women took up new roles, the war was to become a watershed event for MÄori society that set the stage for post-war urbanisation. From ammunition factories to kÅ«mara fields, from Te Puea HÄ“rangi to Te Paipera Tapu, Te Hau KÄinga provides the first substantial account of how hapori MÄori were shaped by the wartime experience at home. It is a story of sacrifice and remarkable resilience among whÄnau, hapÅ« and iwi MÄori. Te Hau KÄinga is published alongside its companion volume Raupanga: NgÄ Pito KÅrero o te Pakanga Tuarua nÅ te Hau KÄinga, edited by Angela Wanhalla and Lachy Paterson. Raupanga features thirty-five succinct, illustrated essays exploring the MÄori home front, translated into te reo MÄori by Lachy Paterson.
