Abstract
This publication introduces Maori art and culture to a wider audience and explores themes which are at the forefront of Maori studies. As well as examining the archaeology and early history of the Maori people, this text discusses the evidence for religion, ritual and social and political organizations before and after the arrival of the Europeans. The development of distinctive Maori art is examined in detail, with particular attention paid to the techniques and materials used, whilst modern perspectives on Maori traditions and culture are provided by a team of scholars from New Zealand and Britain. This revised and expanded edition includes a chapter on contemporary Maori art.
