Kainga Tahi Kainga Rua : Maori Housing Realities And Aspirations
Paperback Edition: 1
Kainga Tahi, Kainga Rua surveys the many ways Maori experience home and housing across Aotearoa New Zealand. These accounts range from the broader factors shaping Maori housing aspirations through to the experiences of whanau, hapu and iwi that connect to specific sites and locations.
From statistically informed analyses to more poetic renderings of the challenges and opportunities of Maori housing, the book encompasses a rich range of voices and perspectives, including many wahine Maori authors. Opening with chapters on the wider contexts - history, land, colonisation - the book moves through to focused, and often intimate, discussions of the relationships between housing, home and identity. An expansive concluding section explores how Maori are developing housing solutions called papakainga. These chapters cover rural, urban and big-city developments and constitute a sweeping book that revitalises our understanding of what a home means for Maori in the twenty-first century
