| Summary |
"Once Were Warriors was not just a novel or film, but a powerful cultural representation which had a significant impact on New Zealand society." "In this illustrated book, Emiel Martens examines the impact of Once Were Warriors in Aotearoa, New Zealand by exploring the two cultural representations (with a specific impact on the film) and their aftermath in postcolonial New Zealand society: Why did Once With Warriors cause such a controversy within the Maori community? Which were the underlying metaphors of the public debate on both the novel and the film in New Zealand society? And what did the heated reception of Once Were Warriors say about the position and identity of the indigenous Maori people within modern New Zealand?"--Back cover.
