The Fate of the Land, Ko ngā Ākina a ngā Rangatira: Māori Political Struggle in the Liberal Era, 1891-1912.

"The Fate of the Land, Ko ngā Ākina a ngā Rangatira: Māori Political Struggle in the Liberal Era, 1891-1912" is a book that explores Māori engagement with the Ballance, Seddon, and Ward Liberal governments in New Zealand from 1891 to 1912. The author, Danny Keenan, provides a Māori perspective on this era and includes personal accounts from various Māori leaders and MPs of the time. The book highlights the accelerated loss of Māori land during this period, the fragmentation of Māori society, and the role of the Liberal Government in controlling Māori resistance. However, it is noted that the book focuses on political history and does not extensively cover social history or the role of women and religious movements. Overall, the book offers valuable insights into Māori political struggle during the Liberal era. [Extracted from the article]
