Sinossi

Fascination with the interplay of people and place inspired the editors of this book to bring together New Zealanders from different backgrounds and disciplines to explore conflict and change found among New Zealand's sacred, historic, rural, urban, and coastal landscapes. All contributors engage with the underlying question: are there better ways to reconcile inherent tensions in the struggle with the land and with each other? Issues fundamental to identity are placed at center stage, including New Zealand indigenous rights and restitution, development and conservation, claiming and naming. The authors discuss issues ranging from the early-settler surveying lines to the Wanganui/Whanganui naming debate, the legal arguments over wahi tapu and Maori customary land to dairying in the Mackenzie Basin. In exploring different ways of framing landscape tensions, they seek new understandings of why such passion, reverence, and contest is generated, and they look for ways to identify new approaches to resolving problems. Making Our Place is the sequel to the well-received anthology Beyond the Scene: Landscape and Identity in Aotearoa New Zealand. *** "...interest is emerging in the study of those historical processes, political projects and social practices that contribute to the ongoing consittution of place, locality, homeland and community in the context of local, regional and global entwinements". Pacific Affairs, Vol. 85, No. 4, December 2012.
