The Highland Clearances and the Colonisation of New Zealand: A Biography of John McKenzie
A fascinating political biography of the Minister of Lands and Agriculture in the 1890s, the man who ‘burst up’ the great pastoral estates and assisted the establishment of the small family farm in New Zealand. The author explores the paradox that the man who was motivated by his childhood experience of the Highland Clearances advanced the process by which Maori were dispossessed of their lands.
