1993 Maori: The Crisis and the Challenge by Alan Duff. Softcover. As/Near New.

Insightful. Progressive. A must read for those interested in Maori studies of any kind. Duff's work discusses the dilemma that the Maori face in contemporary New Zealand by examining the "crisis" and then offering solutions, which are the "challenge" within communities.

The crisis is one that many indigenous peoples face: loss of culture, language, knowledge; poor education; failing health; racism and discrimination, etc.

What makes Duff's work different is he doesn't stop at blaming the colonizer/whites/Pakeha. Instead, Duff suggests that at a certain point the Maori need to look inward and decide what they're doing to further create problems within their community. He says that blame does not make change
