In Being Pakeha Now, Michael King carries the cultural debate forward. While recognising and respecting the place of Maori in New Zealand, he argues that Pakeha too belong inescapably to this country and have no other home. Just as imported East Polynesian ingredients were eventually transmuted into Maori culture, so the attitudes and values carried by Europeans have been transformed here in interaction with forest, mountain and sea, and with Maori. They have coalesced into a second indigenous culture, that of Pakeha New Zealanders. The wooden church and the macrocarpa, King asserts, are as much a part of the spiritual and physical landscape of Aotearoa New Zealand as the meeting house and the cabbage tree. ..."--Back cover.

Helen Winter Stauffer

As a historian and as a novelist Mari Sandoz (1896{u2013}1966) stands in the front rank of western writers: in the words of John K. Hutchens, "no one in our time wrote better than the late Mari Sandoz did, or with more authority and grace, about as many aspects of the old West." This first full-length biography is particularly concerned to show the relationship between Sandoz's life and experiences and her writing. Drawing heavily on materials in the Mari Sandoz Collection at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln{u2014}correspondence to and from Sandoz, her research notes, and manuscripts{u2014}and on interviews with dozens of Sandoz's friends and acquaintances, the author not only establishes the facts of Sandoz's life but confirms her standing as a writer and historian.
