Synopsis:

A landmark account of the Parihaka community in Taranaki and its pioneering campaign of peaceful resistance after the New Zealand Wars. Led by Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi, Parihaka's ploughmen and fencers challenged land confiscations with non-violent action, confronting the power of the colonial state. Dick Scott traces the origins, ideas and consequences of the movement, restoring a pivotal chapter in New Zealand history and the Maori struggle for dignity and land.

The Bookworms Mission:

We strive to reduce unnecessary landfill by taking used books, second-hand books, paperback books, hardback books, pre-loved books, great reads and recycled books and then redistributing them throughout New Zealand, Australia and the rest of the world. Readers can connect online with book titles, helping them find new homes, and support reusing and re-loving books that are affordable. At Bookworms you’ll find cheap books, hidden gems and even some lost treasures. We have a passion for sustainability, being eco-friendly, eco-conscious and we aim to incorporate that into all that we do.
