The Fourth Eye Maori Media In Aotearoa New Zealand

About this book

"[This book] brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars to provide a critrical and comprehensive account of the intricate and complex relationship between the media and Māori culture. Examining the Indigenous mediascape, [it] shows how Māori filmmakers, actors, and media producers have depicted conflicts over citizenship rights and negotiated the representation of Indigenous people. From nineteenth-century Māori-language newspapers to contemporary Māori film and television, the contributors explore a variety of media forms, including magazine cover stories, print advertisements, commercial images, and current Māori-language newspapers to illustrate the construction, expression, and production of indigeneity through media."--Back cover.
