As the government seized their land, Māori communities across the region engaged in non-violent resistance, with Parihaka emerging as a powerful symbol of defiance under the leadership of Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than a history of Parihaka itself, Hazel Riseborough’s compelling account delves into the government’s systematic efforts to dismantle Māori rights and self-determination. First published in 1989, Days of Darkness is published now in a new edition which includes opening words contributed by the Parihaka community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘[Hazel] Riseborough’s account is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand critical aspects of New Zealand’s past … Riseborough has presented a study in quintessential colonialism, or the assertion of European supremacy. It is a part of New Zealand’s history which has to be recognized and not buried.’ – Judith Binney\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bateman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45373181624543,"sku":"9781991033666","price":50.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/2185\/3151\/files\/Days-of-Darkness_CVR_HR.jpg?v=1744082239","url":"https:\/\/lamplightbooks.pro\/products\/days-of-darkness","provider":"Lamplight Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
