Description

Tangata o le Moana: New Zealand and the People of the Pacific tells the story of over 1,000 years of Pacific peoples in New Zealand, from ancient migration to modern-day culture. This illustrated history brings together fresh perspectives and new sources to explore the complex history of Aotearoa's relationship with its Pacific neighbours.

With contributions from leading historians and writers, this book covers a wide range of topics, including migration, politics, sport, and the arts. Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of historical and contemporary images, it offers a rich and colourful record of New Zealand as a Pacific place.

A rigorously researched and engaging history that puts the Pacific Island viewpoint at its centre, Tangata o le Moana is a unique and valuable contribution to our understanding of Aotearoa's past and present.
