Universally acclaimed on its first publication in hardcover, MAKING PEOPLES is a brilliantly readable account of how two huge, fertile, uninhabited Pacific islands became the focus of intensive human settlement, first by the Polynesians and then much later by the British. MAKING PEOPLES challenges both Maori and 'Pakeha' traditions and creates a bold new interpretation of their self-images and their highly complex, often brutal interaction. Gripping and disturbing MAKING PEOPLES shows both how we shape our understanding of the past but also how equally that past can never be shaken off.
