Colonising Myths – Māori Realities: He Rukuruku Whakaaro
This book brings together a series of papers by Ani Mikaere that reflect on the effect of PÄkehÄ law, legal processes and teaching on MÄori legal thought and practice.
She discusses issues such as the ability of MÄori to achieve justice when MÄori law is marginalised; the need to confront racism in thinking, processes and structures; the impact of interpretations of the Treaty of Waitangi; the difficulty of redressing harm to MÄori within the PÄkehÄ legal system; and the importance of reinstating tikanga at the heart of MÄori legal thinking and practice.
