In this month’s Maori Recent Picks, we get a glimpse of the history of seven Maori-Chinese families and the role they play today in New Zealand society in Being Māori-Chinese : mixed identities = He Māori-he Hainamana he tuakiri aha? = Mao li yi hua ren . Also, if you are interested in the Maori history of Nelson and Marlborough, do check out Te tau ihu o te Waka = A history of Maori of Nelson and Marlborough volume 2. This new volume “Te ara hou : the new society” describes Māori participation in European settlement society.  All this plus new theses received in our collections, and articles from recent journals.
