Passionate, witty, and erudite, these essays by a radical curator describe how museums approach their sometimes conflicting missions to sponsor scholarship, generate popular appeal, and claim social significance. This analysis includes discussions of art and ethnology, the failure of late-Modernist art history, the construction of official culture, the intellectual history of European exploration in the Pacific, problems with cultural studies of the Pakeha Maori, and the conservation of archives and narratives.

New Zealand Playscripts. Squatter takes place in and around the estate of Carnegie, on the Canterbury Plains in 1894. But Squatter is not like most historial plays. It is a rich mix of theatrical spectacle, larger than life characters, and vivid, delibrately anachronistic language, which will entertain and provoke.

This collection contains more than 2,500 pepeha, or "sayings of the ancestors," that were gathered and compiled from all over New Zealand over a 20-year period. More than just proverbs, pepeha include charms, witticisms, figures of speech, and boasts, and they are featured in the formal speeches heard every day on the marae and in the oral literature handed down from past generations. These pepeha provide a rich source of vocabulary, using metaphor and an economy of words to show language that enriches the Maori of today.
