商品簡介
This Handbook will explore diverse contemporary topics that reflect the variety of heritage in Aotearoa New Zealand, with topics ranging over cultural and natural heritage, the arts and culture, GLAMs (galleries, libraries, archives and museums), public history, and the natural environment. The chapters in this book all have some relationship with people and place, or with Aotearoa New Zealand's shared history and the impact of/response to a colonial legacy. They will explore the conflict and tensions which arise in contemporary debates about postsettler history, national identity, and popular culture. Within this framework of land, Māori and settler/migrant peoples, authors consider the conflict, problems and tensions which arise from settler-colonial violence, post settler history and a fractious national identity. The book will focus on issues that connect to the relationship with indigenous people and the land through the Treaty of Waitangi/Tiriti o Waitangi. It asks: Who are we and what does it mean to live here, as tangata whenua (people of the land) and tangata tiriti (people of the Treaty)? How has our heritage shaped and been shaped by our relationship to each other and to the land?
