Charlotte Macdonald

In the late 1930s and early 1940s, a wave of state-sponsored national fitness programmes swept Britain and its former colonies. Following revelations of the Nazi enthusiasm for government-backed sports and the organisation of mass leisure, the programmes quickly foundered. They probably laid, however, the foundations for the twentieth centurys obsession with fitness a key facet of modern life. In this highly original account, Charlotte Macdonald shows how governments became convinced that they must encourage citizens to be healthier and more active, and how these efforts reinforced the cultural ties of the Empire. Alongside these state-sponsored efforts was a growing emphasis from business, the medical establishment and popular culture on the importance of having a better body. Strong, Beautiful and Modern explains the origins of the modern preoccupation with the body. And, at a time when government concern over public health issues such as obesity is once again on the rise, it offers valuable lessons as to why the first national fitness drive was ultimately a failure. Drawing on extensive research, and written in vivid, lively prose, Strong, Beautiful and Modern is an historical investigation into the way that people and their governments think about their health and well-being, and how those historical views have shaped our modern life. Charlotte Macdonald is Professor of History at Victoria University of Wellington. She has strong interests in womens history, both in New Zealand and the wider British Empire, and in the history of sport. Her previous books include My Hand Will Write What My Heart Dictates (1996), and she co-edited The Book of New Zealand Women (1991).

The Prophet Rua Kenana and his Community at Maungapohatu

Judith Binney, Gillian Chaplin & Craig Wallace

Rua Kenana was an extraordinary prophetic leader from the Urewera. Resisting threats to expel the Thoe people from their ancestral lands, he established a remarkable community at Maungapohatu, identifying himself as the Mhaia or Messiah for Thoe. Judith Binney, Gillian Chaplin and Craig Wallace researched the history of the community in the 1970s, working first with a collection of photographs that they took to the Urewera. Sharing these photographs with descendants of Rua and his followers, they found that strangers opened their hearts to us, and shared their stories. This biographical account focuses on a dramatic moment in Urewera history, one that incorporated a shocking episode in early twentieth-century New Zealand. The rich photographic record documents not only the police assault on the Maungapohatu community but also the lives of the people and Ruas utopian vision. The prophet lived into the 1930s, a leader still working to support and sustain his followers. Described on publication as an unparalleled record of a community through time, this remarkable history has been in demand since first publication by Oxford University Press in 1979. Judith Binney, dnzm, frsnz, was the author of many award-winning histories, including Redemption Songs: A Life of Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki (1995) and Encircled Lands: Te Urewera 18201921 (2009). Her work will appear also in Tangata Whenua: An Illustrated History (forthcoming, 2012). Photographer Gillian Chaplin is a director of the Melbournebased Magian Design Studio, specialising in exhibition design around the world. After graduating from Auckland University in languages and anthropology, Craig Wallace has managed literacy and English language programmes in several countries.

Vincent OSullivan

20 b/w illustrations Publication: November 2011 (second edition). First published by Penguin in 2003. Biography

Vincent OSullivan has written a book more powerful and more moving than anything in our biographical literature. Michael King, NZ Herald, 2003 John Mulgan was part of a gifted yet uneasy group of young New Zealanders who made their mark between the wars men such as Ian Milner, James Bertram, Dan Davin and Geoffrey Cox. An Oxford graduate, he worked as a publisher at Oxford University Press before leaving for the front in World War Two. Fascinated but sometimes troubled by his home country, Mulgan saw New Zealand as a place of challenge and austere demands, a land that produced men more practical than cultivated. In his famous novel Man Alone, he depicted it as a tough, often heartless country, characterised by the solitary figure who has come to symbolise the male New Zealand psyche. He wrote more warmly of the place and the people in his poignant memoir, Report on Experience, published after his death. Mulgan was a glamorous figure: handsome, gifted and good at anything he attempted. His last years were spent fighting in the Allied cause in Egypt and Greece, where he distinguished himself. But there were darker threads, too, which culminated in his decision to take his own life in Cairo, just after the end of the war and aged only thirtythree. In this penetrating biography, Vincent OSullivan draws on a large collection of personal papers, official records and contemporary memoirs to paint a vivid portrait of a man who came to represent so much about his country and his time. Vincent OSullivan, dcnzm, is one of New Zealands leading writers, acclaimed for his poetry and short stories, along with the novels Let the River Stand and Believers to the Bright Coast. Honoured by many awards and distinctions, he is also highly regarded as a playwright and critic, and for his superb scholarship as co-editor of The Collected Letters of Katherine Mansfield. Until recently, Vincent OSullivan taught at Victoria University.

A Controversial Churchman
Essays on George Selwyn, Bishop of New Zealand and Lichfield, and Sarah Selwyn

RRP $49.99 ISBN 9781877242519 Publication: November 2011

300 pages 240 x 170 mm 50 b/w illustrations Biography/History

Edited by Allan Davidson

New Zealands first Anglican bishop, George Selwyn, was a towering figure in the young colony. Denounced as a turbulent priest for speaking out against Crown practices that dispossessed Mori, he brought a vigorous approach to episcopal leadership. His wife Sarah Selwyn supported all her husbands activities, in a life characterised as one of hardship and anxiety. She expressed independently her sense of outrage over the Waitara dispute. Selwyn promoted participatory church government, founded the innovative Melanesian Mission, and developed a distinctive style of colonial church architecture. More controversially, he battled with the Church Missionary Society, and was caught up in the bitter maelstrom of settler and Mori politics. His personal links with colonial and ecclesiastical networks gave him access to the heart of empire. These essays offer new insights into Selwyns role in developing pan-Anglicanism, strengthening links between the Church of England and the Episcopal and Anglican Churches in North America, and his time as Bishop of Lichfield (186878). His place in Treaty history, as a political commentator and a valuable source of historical information, is recognised. George Selwyn left a large imprint on New Zealand church and society. This collection both honours and critiques a controversial bishop. Allan Davidson taught church history for many years at St Johns College and the University of Auckland. He has published extensively on religious history in New Zealand and the South Pacific, and edited Living Legacy: A History of the Anglican Diocese of Auckland (2011).

Judith Binney & Gillian Chaplin

For much of womens history, memory is the only way of discovering the past. Other sources simply do not exist. This is true for any history of Mori women in this century. All the women in this book have lived through times of acute social disturbance. Their voices must be heard. Judith Binney, 1992 In eight remarkable oral histories, Ng Mrehu brings alive the experience of Mori women from the mid-twentieth century. Heni Brown (above right), Reremoana Koopu, Maaka Jones, Hei Ariki Algie, Heni Sunderland (above left), Miria Rua, Putiputi Onekawa and Te Akakura Rua talked with Judith Binney and Gillian Chaplin, sharing stories and memories. These are the women whose voices must be heard. The title, the survivors, reflects the womens connection with the visionary leader Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki and his followers, who adopted the name Ng Mrehu during the wars of the 1860s. But these women are not only survivors: they are also the chosen ones, the leaders of their society. They speak here of richly diverse lives of arranged marriages and whngai adoption traditions, of working in both Mori and Pkeh communities. They pay testimony to their strong sense of a shared identity created by religious and community teachings. [T]o read the life histories of these women is a rare privilege. We are swept up into a world of pain, poverty and the sheer grind of daily life in rural villages. Throughout all the narratives there is a strong sense of taha wairua spiritual beliefs instilled by influential whanau elders. To read these stories is to become enveloped in a brilliantly patterned cloak where all the strong threads are bound together with warmth and aroha. Keri Kaa, NZ Listener, 30 May 1987 Judith Binney, dnzm, frsnz, was the author of many award-winning histories, including Redemption Songs: A Life of Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki (1995) and Encircled Lands: Te Urewera 18201921 (2009).

Atholl Anderson, Judith Binney & Aroha Harris

A landmark publication, Tangata Whenua portrays the sweep of Mori history from Pacific origins to the twenty-first century. Through narrative and images, it offers a striking overview of the past, grounded in specific localities and histories. Fifteen chapters bring together scholarship in history, archaeology, traditional narratives and oral history. Images from around the country (and from international museums) include taonga and artefacts, early European sketches and paintings along with contemporary artworks, and many photographs from collections and newspapers. Placing Mori at the centre of the countrys story, Tangata Whenua begins in the Pacific and outlines early settlement in New Zealand. A second section covers the period of great change in the nineteenth century, examining how Mori communities were affected by the influx of new technology, religious ideas, trade and literacy. The history then extends forward through the twentieth century with two world wars, the growth of an urban Mori culture, rising protest, and Treaty claims and settlements. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Mori are drawing on both international connections and their ancestral place in Aotearoa. The ways in which growth and development are interwoven with tension and resistance will be evident in the future as they have been throughout the past. Atholl Anderson (Ngi Tahu) is Professor Emeritus at the Australian National University. An experienced archaeologist, he has published on early New Zealand and Pacific history, and on Ngi Tahu history. Judith Binney was Professor Emeritus at the University of Auckland, and an award-winning author of many books on Mori history. Aroha Harris (Ngpuhi, Te Rarawa) is a member of the Waitangi Tribunal, who teaches history at the University of Auckland. Her publications include history, fiction and poetry.

Treaty of Waitangi Settlements Edited by Nicola Wheen & Janine Hayward

RRP $49.99 ISBN 9781927131381 Publication: February 2012

300 pages 240 x 170 mm 50 b/w illustrations History/Ma ori/Treaty

The settlement of iwi claims under the Treaty of Waitangi has been a prominent feature of New Zealand's political and legal landscape over the last thirty years. It has drawn international attention, as other nations seek ways to build new relationships between indigenous peoples and the state. Here leading scholars from the fields of law, history, Mori studies and politics provide a comprehensive account of the settlement process. The contributors examine the history of Treaty claims and the impact of Treaty settlements. The major settlements are considered, and their impact on the management and ownership of key resources (such as lands, forests, fisheries). The economic and social consequences for Mori are debated, along with the impact of the settlement process on the Crown's relationship with Mori. As the settlement of historical claims draws toward a close (forecast for 2014), this timely book considers the achievements and controversies of Treaty settlements over the years. How successful has the process been in redressing historic grievances? Are Treaty settlements truly full and final? Are major issues left unresolved? And how does New Zealand's attempt to build a new relationship between indigenous people and the state rate internationally? Nicola Wheen is Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Otago. Janine Hayward is Associate Professor of Politics at the University of Otago. Both have published widely in the fields of law and politics, and together edited The Waitangi Tribunal: Te Roopu Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi (2004).

300 pages 240 x 170 mm History

Union Radicals in Post-War New Zealand ISBN 9781927131398

Publication: March 2012 30 b/w illustrations

Marginalised workers of the late twentieth century were those last hired in times of plenty and first fired in times of recession. Often women, Mori, or people from the Pacific, they were frequently unemployed, and marginalised within the union movement as well as the labour force. Workers in the Margins tells the story of these workers in the tumultuous years of post-war New Zealand. These were years characterised by massive changes in the workforce, as it expanded to accommodate a growing urban Mori population and an increasing desire for women to enter paid work. The world of trade unions and employment conflicts, such as the 1951 waterfront lockout, was vigorous and challenging. As free market policies deregulated the labour market and splintered the union movement toward the end of the century, Te Roopu Rawakore o Aotearoa, the national unemployed and beneficiaries' movement, gave a new voice to workers in the margins. The people of this history come to life through oral histories from the poet (and boilermaker) Hone Tuwhare building a palisade at Orakei through to activists Sue Bradford and Jane Stevens working with the unemployed in the 1980s and 90s. Their experiences speak to the lives of many workers of the early twenty-first century. Cyble Lockes imaginative use of oral history has allowed her to bring to life some significant grass roots figures and to recapture the mood and texture of a radical movement. a substantial contribution to New Zealand scholarship that will be of great interest to all those concerned with social justice. Erik Olssen, Emeritus Professor, University of Otago Cyble Locke is a graduate of Otago and Auckland universities, who has published widely on labour history. Currently a full-time parent, she was a participant in the activist movements of the late twentieth century.

648 pages 265 x 195 mm 200 full-colour illustrations History/Ma ori/Treaty

Judith Binney

Te Urewera in the nineteenth century was a sheltering heartland for those who lived there; for visiting Europeans, it was a forbidding wilderness. As the century drew on, however, the lands occupied by Urewera hap were dramatically reduced by confiscation and forced cession. Government troops brought armed struggle to the territory. Under the agreed terms of peace in 1872, Te Urewera became an autonomous district, collectively governed by its own leaders Te Whitu Tekau (The Seventy), men who stand tall in any history of Aotearoa New Zealand. In 1896, Te Rohe Ptae o Te Urewera was formally ratified as a separate tribal district, the only legally recognised tribal enclave in the countrys history. As Premier Richard Seddon acknowledged, earlier promises made to Tuhoes leaders had been fulfilled. But in 192122 the Urewera District Native Reserve was abolished in law. The governance of Te Whitu Tekau was steadily undermined, and Urewera lands progressively alienated from their original owners by the Crown. Encircled Lands recovers this history from a wealth of contemporary archived documents, many written by the Urewera leaders themselves, and over 150 early photographs, along with oral sources and original maps. It explains how the idea of internal self-government for Thoe was born and for a period partly realised. This magisterial account provides the historical context of an idea that has come again to the negotiating table: Thoes never-ending quest for a constitutional agreement that restores their authority in their lands.
