Savaged to suit : Maori and cartooning in New Zealand

documentary heritage
  • Other Name

    New Zealand Cartoon Archive monograph series ; no. 2 (Series)

  • Description

    "In the earliest cartoons featuring Maori, they appeared as fearsome savages; today they are likely to be drawn in corporate-world suits ... Chapters deal with cultural practices, material culture, Maori language, politics, the Treaty of Waitangi, Maori in time of war, and the significance of sport ...

    The book features 250 cartoons - the first ever collection that captures the attitudes and feelings of each period and underlines the importance of editorial cartoons as valuable historical sources"--Inside front flap.
