| Whaik rero: The World of M ori Oratory is the first introduction to this fundamental M ori art to be widely published. It is based on broad research as well as oral histories from 30 of the leading exponents of whaik rero, many of whom have subsequently died. Author Poia Rewi s informants are affiliated to many iwi including T"hoe, Ng ti Kahungunu, Te Arawa, Ng ti Porou, Ng ti Awa, Waikato-Maniapoto, Te Whakat hea, Ng Puhi and Ng ti Whare. In Whaik rero, Poia Rewi assesses the origin and history of whaik rero; its structure, language and style of delivery; who may speak; and where speech happens. Featuring a range of sample whaik rero drawn from both oral and literary sources, the book provides examples of language for learners of M ori wishing to improve their whaik rero skills as well as being a major resource for all readers interested in M ori culture. |
