Softcover. Condizione: Fine. No Dust Jacket. September 2018 fourth edition (revised) of a title first published in 2013. 359, [2], 2-47 (table of Treaty settlements), [14 (References)], [5 (Index)] pages + 27 illustrations on 8 plate leaves. Illustrated card covers. Page dimensions: 209 x 147mm. Colour and black and white illust…rations. New Zealand history, Maori history. "This is probably the most important book published in recent times as it shows how in 27 years the Treaty of Waitangi has been reinterpreted, the 'partnership' myth created, tribal corporations set up, public assets transferred to those corporations which are now on the brink of securing a special place in a new, treaty based, written constitution. [. . .] In recent years a cadre of self-interested politicians, bureaucrats, judges, lawyers, academics, journalists and tribal leaders have been feeding the public a fake history ('wicked colonialists and noble chiefs'), including a false version of the treaty, so as to feed the ever growing grievance industry and line the pockets of corporate iwi, which has amassed $36.9 billion of assets while paying less tax than other or, more often, no tax at all. Claims to culture, radio waves, petroleum and the like, let alone 'partnership' with the Crown and even sovereignty itself, are modern creations not mentioned in the treaty." - from blurb on rear cover.

Softcover. Condizione: Near Fine. No Dust Jacket. Second (revised) edition, November 2015, of a title first published in October 2015. 314, [2 (blank)] pages + illustrations on 10 plate leaves. Page dimensions: 210 x 147mm. "This book has been written by eight well-qualified New Zealanders from a variety of political backgrounds… - National, Labour, NZ First, Greens, ACT and Libertarians. They share a concern at the way that democracy and equality of citizenship are being undermined by the ever-increasing demands of some tribalist groups - part-Maoris - for special rights and privileges over and above other New Zealanders. The Maori people who ceded sovereignty to Queen Victoria in 1840 no longer exist. Their descendants, usually with more European blood than Maori, are one of numerous ethnic groups in modern New Zealand society in which we participate with rights based on citizenship, not ethnicity. In such a society no single group should be entitled to rights, privileges, or special funding that is not available to others." - from blurb on rear cover.
