Conflict and Compromise represents a landmark in the study of race relations in New Zealand, appearing just prior to the current Treaty of Waitangi settlement process. Its reissue provides a new generation of readers with these seminal perspectives.

The eight essays in this book provide case studies of conflicts and compromises in relations between Maori and Pakeha, especially the problems of integration of an indigenous and minority race into an otherwise European society. Part One deals mainly with the colonial period in the nineteenth century, and Part Two with more contemporary issues

Part One Michael Jackson: Literacy, communications and social change Daniel Lyons: Nineteenth-century religious prophets and movements Lesley Andrews: Social and economic development 1870-90 Gilda Misur: The evolution of the Ringatu Church

Part Two Bernard Pierce: Maori and industrial technology Pieter de Bres: Maori religion in a city suburb Ranginui Walker: Welfare committees in the city D.R. Chapple: Race relations in a timber town
