| In this major work, the leading MÄ ori political scientist Dominic Oâ Sullivan draws on theories of republicanism and the commonwealth to challenge understandings of Te Tiriti as a partnership between races, or between MÄ ori people and the Crown. Oâ Sullivan also critiques the idea that Te Tiriti created one people, assimilating MÄ ori into colonial ways of governing. Instead, he proposes a new politics where MÄ ori self-determination and liberal democracy, rangatiratanga and kÄ wanatanga, complement one another to promote meaningful and culturally grounded political equality. Oâ Sullivan enables us to see a future for Aotearoa in which political authority and responsibility belong to everyone and should therefore work equally well for all; a country where MÄ ori people, as much as anyone else, bring their tikanga to public life; and a society where the Crown is no longer the word we use to describe government. For scholars, policymakers and political leaders, for MÄ ori and PÄ kehÄ , for all of us imagining a respectful and inclusive future for our island democracy, this is essential reading. |
