Contemporary Maori Writing

Secondhand wear. Aging and wear to dustjacket. Foxing.

The writers in this collection are the first generation of Maori writers to make use of literary forms that are European in origin. The shared experience and similar approach in their stories and poems, rather than the fact of their being Maori, justifies bringing together their work.

Here are important new voices in New Zealand literature, and a convincing portrait of Maori life.
