The increasing tendency for Maoris and Pakehas to marry will probably contribute to the lessening of interracial tension in New Zealand.
Dr Harre analyses the various factors involved, both racial and cultural, and presents a detailed study of a number of representative examples of mixed marriages. Within this context he describes dating practices and events leading to marriage, relationships between spouses, those with kin and friends, and those with the community as a whole. The book concludes with a consideration of the position of the children of mixed marriages. from the blurb
