Sold New Zealand

Another canonical text in New Zealand literature, Sold New Zealand considers the truths about the Pakeha settler society from the perspective of a so-called Pakeha-Maori. Ostensibly a tract defending Maori, Sold New Zealand turns out to provide not the mediation between two binaries but rather the rationale for Pakeha to take over Maori New Zealand. Maori should never have signed the Treaty of Waitangi or in any way trusted the buggers.
