Assimilation, biculturalism and Rangatiratanga -- The Treaty of Waitangi -- Beyond biculturalism: self determination -- The politics of indigeneity -- 'One law for all' -- Self-determination in the liberal democracy -- Beyond biculturalism: dependence to interdependence.
Summary: "Beyond Biculturalism is a critical analysis of contemporary Māori public policy. Bicultural political theory dominated Māori/Crown relationships during the 1980s and 1990s and O'Sullivan argues that biculturalism inevitably makes Māori the junior partner in a colonial relationship that obstructs Māori aspirations to self-determination. The politics of indigeneity and self-determination are discussed as alternative political ideas for thinking about Māori relationships with the state. Against this background, and by drawing on Australian and Canadian comparisons, the book examines contemporary Māori political issues such as the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004, Māori parliamentary representation, the 'one law for all' ideology, settlements of Māori grievances against the Crown, and Māori economic development."--Jacket.
