New Zealand and Europe
Connections and Comparisons
Series: - European Studies, Volume: 21
- European Studies, Volume: 21
This book is one of first comparative studies of the cultural, political and economic interactions between New Zealand and Europe. The chapters that comprise this book are a deliberate exercise in variety inside the theme of New Zealand and Europe: Connections and Comparisons. They derive from the first conference of the New Zealand European Studies Association and give a flavour of the active and far-reaching nature of studies relating to Europe currently taking place in New Zealand. The cultural and historical chapters, while often quite specific in focus, touch on themes of universal cross-cultural relevance: the fate of imported languages and cultures; the tendencies to familiarise or exoticise unknown lands; the problematic representation of women in politics; the ambivalences and tensions between dominant and subordinate cultures; and the responsibility of the intellectual in the face of authority.
"â¦an important starting point from which New Zealandâs intellectual insularity may be challenged." - in: The Round Table, Vol. 95, No. 383 (Jan. 2006)
"â¦a varied and successful collection ⦠a fascinating tapestry of themes, which are often as thought-provoking as they are enduring." - in: JMCS, Vol. 44, No. 1 (2006)
