ABOUT
This offers an analysis of the combination of Christian and non-religious strands in New Zealand social life.
Early New Zealand colonists felt relatively unrestrained, both legally and socially, by many of the moral standards of the mother country. Maoris knew little of them and cared even less. Not that New Zealand was a sensual paradise. Society encouraged its men in the pursuit of pleasure, but adultery, prostitution, incest, alcoholism and sexual ignorance brought misery to many people and often made victims of colonial women.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and illustrations, includes vintage adverts. Decorated end papers.
