Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n This book is one of first comparative studies of the cultural, political and economic interactions between New Zealand and Europe. The chapters that comprise this book are a deliberate exercise in variety inside the theme of New Zealand and Europe: Connections and Comparisons. They derive from the first conference of the New Zealand European Studies Association and give a flavour of the active and far-reaching nature of studies relating to Europe currently taking place in New Zealand. The cultural and historical chapters, while often quite specific in focus, touch on themes of universal cross-cultural relevance: the fate of imported languages and cultures; the tendencies to familiarise or exoticise unknown lands; the problematic representation of women in politics; the ambivalences and tensions between dominant and subordinate cultures; and the responsibility of the intellectual in the face of authority.  \n\n                                         Editorial Reviews                   Review   \"…an important starting point from which New Zealand’s intellectual insularity may be challenged.\" - in: The Round Table, Vol. 95, No. 383 (Jan. 2006)\u003cbr\u003e \"…a varied and successful collection … a fascinating tapestry of themes, which are often as thought-provoking as they are enduring.\" - in: JMCS, Vol. 44, No. 1 (2006)                                           ","brand":"Bernadette Luciano, David Mayes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46068578975978,"sku":"9789042019041","price":153.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/5301\/6298\/files\/61xkvgFNuGL._SL1500.jpg?v=1781170040","url":"https:\/\/textbookme.store\/products\/new-zealand-and-europe-connections-and-comparisons-european-studies-21","provider":"TextbookMe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
