"An exploration of the different ways Måaori and Påakehåa 'fronted' one another - the zones of contact
and encounter - across the nineteenth century. Beginning with a pre-1840 era marked by significant
cooperation, Vincent O'Malley details the emergence of a more competitive and conflicted post-Treaty
world"--Publisher information.
