New neighbours : short stories

documentary heritage
  • Description

    "The common theme in this collection is racial interaction--sometimes amusing, often not- between Polynesian and European. The stories are set in New Zealand and the Pacific Islands and throughout the characters unconsciously reveal a legacy of misunderstanding and prejudice that ably demonstrates that we are still 'new neighbours'."--Back cover.
