"The focus of this book is the Southern Cook Islands and its people. Since Ron Crocombe wrote his pioneering works Land Tenure in the Cook Islands in 1961 and 1964 (when anthropology was still a fledgling discipline), and edited and published Richard Gilson's 1952 thesis as a book, The Cook Islands 1820-1950, no other detailed analysis of Cook Islands history and customary law has been published. The purpose of this book is to re-examine primary sources, to synthesize other peoples scholarly work, and to place Ron Crocombe's and Ross Holmes research into a book which provides a detailed record of pre-European Southern Cook Islands customary law and society, and the impact which Europeans have had thereon. Fortunately we are now in a better position to interpret and understand customary evidence than the authors and Courts in the Cook Islands previously were, as there is now a relatively large volume of source material, much of which has not been previously analysed or readily accessible. The suppression of custom that occurred in New Zealand also occurred in the Cook Islands, initially through the LMS. Subsequently the New Zealand administration introduced the New Zealand education system in the Cook Islands, which prohibited the use of the Cook Islands language in schools, and taught Cook Islanders to be good Europeans. The inferiority of many of the customs and institutions was impressed upon the minds of Cook Islanders. The New Zealand administration had no interest in Cook Islands custom, despite it being aware that the rules and practice of the Land Court were an introduced system that was in many ways is opposed to custom. It refused to hold an inquiry into Cook Islands custom. The Cook Islands Courts have from the commencement of the Court system in 1902 down to the present time made determinations on customary law in the absence of sufficient evidence as to what customary law was. One purpose of this book is to ensure that relevant information about Maori customary laws is available. The detailed research which Ross Holmes has carried out over the past 8 years has re-written Rarotongan history which had been distorted by widely believed invented traditions. He has established that a number of the 'customs' relied upon by the Courts were European invented traditions (including the doctrine of primogeniture). He has also established that during the LMS era some of the ariki of Rarotonga, and others, acquired substantial areas of land, and titles, that they had no customary law entitlement to. There are accordingly many historical injustices in Rarotonga that remain to be righted."--Publisher's information.

Picture, for a minute, every artwork of colonial New Zealand you can think of. Now add a chain gang. Hard-labour men guarded by other men with guns. Men moving heavy metal. Men picking at the earth. Over and over again. This was the reality of nineteenth-century New Zealand. Forced labour haunts the streets we walk today and the spaces we take for granted. The unfree work of prisoners has shaped New Zealand's urban centres and rural landscapes, and Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa – the Pacific – in profound and unsettling ways. Yet these stories are largely unknown: a hidden history in plain sight. Blood and Dirt explains, for the first time, the making of New Zealand and its Pacific empire through the prism of prison labour. Jared Davidson asks us to look beyond the walls of our nineteenth- and early twentieth-century prisons to see penal practice as playing an active, central role in the creation of modern New Zealand. Journeying from the Hohi mission station in the Bay of Islands through to Milford Sound, vast forest plantations, and on to Parliament itself, this vivid and engaging book will change the way you view New Zealand.

Design and the Vernacular explores the intersection between vernacular architecture, local cultures, and modernity and globalization, focussing on the vast and diverse global region of Australasia and Oceania. The relevance and role of vernacular architecture in contemporary urban planning and architectural design are examined in the context of rapid political, economic, technological, social and environmental changes, including globalization, exchanges of people, finance, material culture, and digital technologies. Sixteen chapters by architects designers and theorists, including Indigenous writers, explore key questions about the agency of vernacular architecture in shaping contemporary building and design practice. These questions include: How have Indigenous building traditions shaped modern building practices? What can the study of vernacular architecture contribute to debates about sustainable development? And how has vernacular architecture been used to argue for postcolonial modernisation and nation-building and what has been the effect on heritage and conservation? Such questions provide valuable case studies and lessons for architecture in other global regions -- and challenge assumptions about vernacular architecture being anachronistic and static, instead demonstrating how it can shape contemporary architecture, nation building and cultural identities.

The term Polynesia refers to a cultural and geographical area in the Pacific Ocean, bound by what is commonly referred to as the Polynesian Triangle, which consists of Hawai'i in the north, New Zealand in the southwest, and Easter Island in the southeast. Thousands of islands are scattered throughout this area, most of which are currently included in one of the modern island states of American Samoa, Cook Islands, French Polynesia, Hawai'i, New Zealand, Samoa, Tonga, Tokelau, Tuvalu, and Wallis and Futuna. The third edition of the Historical Dictionary of Polynesia greatly expands on the previous editions through a chronology, an introductory essay, an expansive bibliography, and over 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, events, places, organizations, and other aspects of Polynesian history from the earliest times to the present. Appendixes of the major islands and atolls within Polynesia, the rulers and administrators of the 13 major island states, and basic demographic information of those states are also included.
