Publisher's Synopsis

Justice and Reparations for the New Zealand Maori surveys the recent history of debate in New Zealand about what constitutes justice for the Maori people who, aboriginal in the land, and still deeply affected by colonizatioon and modernization, make up about 10% of the country's three million inhabitants. It is much a book about justice as it is about Maori-Pakeha relations since the Maori Renaissance of the 1970s; but the particular conceptions of justice covered are those of New Zealanders, and of institutions like the Waitangi Tribunal and the courts, Parliament and the Maori Council. It isolates and records the three predominant claims to justice demands the amelioration of current inequalities between Maori and Pakeha; and that both peoples should live under one law which favours neither. The book attempts to set down the scope and limits of each kind of justice, and argues that justice is not the only political virtue that there is.
