ABOUT
The portrayal of the growth of Johnsonville, a suburb of the capital, Wellington.
From the earliest days of mass European settlement from nineteenth century bush clearing to contemporary suburbia, presents a unique history, but he steady incursion of urbanisation, bureaucracy and state centralisation pose problems which can be readily perceived in communities elsewhere.
The closing chapters of the book provide an examination of class and social change which will not only challenge many of the myths commonly applied to New Zealand society, but may also provide a basis for a constructive assessment of present, and future, trends in the development of New Zealand Society.
