| Taking readers to the farms and factories, the marae and churches where MÄ ori lived, worked and raised their families, Te Hau KÄ inga tells the story of the profound transformation in MÄ ori life during the Second World War. While the MÄ ori Battalion fought overseas, the MÄ ori War Effort Organisation and its tribal committees engaged MÄ ori men and women throughout Aotearoa in the home guard, the womenâ s auxiliary forces, and national agricultural and industrial production. MÄ ori mobilisation was an exercise of rangatiratanga and it changed how MÄ ori engaged with the state. And, as MÄ ori men and women took up new roles, the war was to become a watershed event for MÄ ori society that set the stage for post-war urbanisation. From ammunition factories to kÅ"mara fields, from Te Puea HÄ rangi to Te Paipera Tapu, Te Hau KÄ inga provides the first substantial account of how hapori MÄ ori were shaped by the wartime experience at home. It is a story of sacrifice and remarkable resilience among whÄ nau, hapÅ" and iwi MÄ ori. |
