Many New Zealanders hold firm to the belief that Māori have been treated better than other indigenous peoples, and that they receive benefits that other New Zealanders do not. Some argue that the supposed privileges that Māori receive are a direct attack on the foundations of the nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrivilege in Perpetuity\u003c\/em\u003e charts the eighteenth-century origins of this idea, tracing its development over time, and assesses what impact this notion of privilege has had on Māori communities. Central to this history is the paradox, explored by Meihana, of how Māori were rendered landless and politically marginalised, yet at the same time were somehow still considered privileged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea of privilege is revealed as central to colonisation in New Zealand and to the dispossession and marginalisation of Māori - and as a stubbornly persistent prejudice that remains in place today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David Bateman Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46844280635628,"sku":"9781990046346","price":17.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/0fb95af2d574f1e541d8e02330acbc7a.jpg?v=1758833331"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/peter-meihana.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
