New Zealand has a complex cultural identity that includes Maori and Pakeha identity, post-colonial and feminist identities. This book is a collection of essays that include the colonial legacy, identities of Maori and women, class, speech, education, art and literature, the media, the military tradition, sport, churches and the criminal subculture.
