Notes

'The first record of the Pacific rights and social activist movement in New Zealand, told by those who were there. Their actions were a desperate but necessary revolt against the entrenched stigma of racism and discrimination that Pacific Islanders faced trying to integrate into a New Zealand way of life during the 1970s and early 1980s. Collecting interviews, memoirs, poetry, newspaper articles as well as critical analysis, 'Polynesian Panthers' is an edgy, hard-hitting account of an important period in New Zealand's social and cultural evolution'--Back cover
