Analyzes Maori protest movements from 1891 to 1909, a crucial era in Maori history. Defeated militarily in the 1860s, by 1890 the Maoris had accepted the permanence of that defeat and thereafter they became more articulate , more united, and more effective in their use of political techniques. Unable to rely completely on their greatly outnumbered representatives in the nationalparliament, they developed organizations of their own which combined European political techniques and new economic enterprise with traditional leadership and social values.
