Now that nearly 85% of the Māori population have their main place of residence in urban centres, cities have become important sites of affirmation and struggle. Grounded in an ethnography of everyday life in the city of Auckland, Being Maori in the City is an investigation of what being Māori means today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the first ethnographic studies of Māori urbanization since the 1970s, this book is based on almost two years of fieldwork, living with Māori families, and more than 250 hours of interviews. In contrast with studies that have focused on indigenous elites and official groups and organizations, \u003cem\u003eBeing Māori in the City\u003c\/em\u003e shines a light on the lives of ordinary individuals and families. Using this approach, Natacha Gagn? adroitly underlines how indigenous ways of being are maintained and even strengthened through change and openness to the larger society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNatacha Gagné\u003c\/strong\u003e is an associate professor in the Department of Anthropology at Université Laval.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 21, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51824824779040,"sku":"9781442614130","price":81.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d0eb8646ac7b559997f46856a13358bc.webp?v=1781220969","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/being-maori-in-the-city-indigenous-everyday-life-in-auckland-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
