Abstract
Review of Hugh Dickey’s (2021) The Changing face of rural New Zealand: A study of rural demographic changes over 170 years, and the story behind them
Highlights
Dickey’s latest work on rural population change follows his earlier monograph ‘The growth of New Zealand towns’. While this second monograph is an excellent addition to information about rural population change, it is a pity that what scarce academic analysis which has been published about rural population change isn’t alluded to
The rise of immigrant labour is explained by the statement: (p24) “as local people and even families of farmers are less inclined to work on farms, immigrant labour has been needed”
The six township and six district vignettes provide useful context for the changing population numbers
