Taking readers to the farms and factories, the marae and churches whereMāori lived, worked and raised their families, Te Hau Kāinga tells thestory of the profound transformation in Māori life during the Second World War.While the Māori Battalion fought overseas, the Māori War EffortOrganisation and its tribal committees engaged Māori men and women throughoutAotearoa in the home guard, the women’s auxiliary forces, and nationalagricultural and industrial production. Māori mobilisation was an exercise ofrangatiratanga and it changed how Māori engaged with the state. And, as Māorimen and women took up new roles, the war was to become a watershed event forMāori society that set the stage for post-war urbanisation.From ammunition factories to kūmara fields, from Te Puea Hērangi to TePaipera Tapu, Te Hau Kāinga provides the first substantial account ofhow hapori Māori were shaped by the wartime experience at home. It is a storyof sacrifice and remarkable resilience among whānau, hapū and iwi Māori.Te Hau Kāinga ispublished alongside its companion volume Raupanga: Ngā Pito Kōrero o tePakanga Tuarua nō te Hau Kāinga, edited by Angela Wanhalla and LachyPaterson. Raupanga features thirty-five succinct,illustrated essays exploring the Māori home front, translated into te reo Māoriby Lachy Paterson.
