Dr. James Ritchie has made, in "The Making of a Maori", an important contribution to our knowledge of how modern Maori people grow up and live. He has taken a typical Maori village, a village he calls "Rakau" and describes its individuals and families, its tensions and troubles, and vivacity, excitement, and satisfactions. The Making of a Maori is offered as a contribution towards the future of Rakau's people, towards the future of all Maoris, towards better understanding between Maori and Pakeha, and as a demonstration that together we have far to go.
