"Gary Clover, investigates the nature of culture change and Maori 'conversion' from 1827-1855 during New Zealand's early contact era. He narrates an absorbing tale of Maori and Pakeha inter-relationships, colourful personalities, and their foresight and failures. He explores how Hokianga Maori, amidst immense turmoil and change, adopted and 'Maorified' European technology, culture, and Christianity"--Page 4 of cover.
