Book Description Softcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. September 2018 fourth edition (revised) of a title first published in 2013. 359, [2], 2-47 (table of Treaty settlements), [14 (References)], [5 (Index)] pages + 27 illustrations on 8 plate leaves. Illustrated card covers. Page dimensions: 209 x 147mm. Colour and black and white illustrations. New Zealand history, Maori history. "This is probably the most important book published in recent times as it shows how in 27 years the Treaty of Waitangi has been reinterpreted, the 'partnership' myth created, tribal corporations set up, public assets transferred to those corporations which are now on the brink of securing a special place in a new, treaty based, written constitution. [. . .] In recent years a cadre of self-interested politicians, bureaucrats, judges, lawyers, academics, journalists and tribal leaders have been feeding the public a fake history ('wicked colonialists and noble chiefs'), including a false version of the treaty, so as to feed the ever growing grievance industry and line the pockets of corporate iwi, which has amassed $36.9 billion of assets while paying less tax than other or, more often, no tax at all. Claims to culture, radio waves, petroleum and the like, let alone 'partnership' with the Crown and even sovereignty itself, are modern creations not mentioned in the treaty." - from blurb on rear cover.
