Collision, Compromise and Conversion during the Wesleyan Hokianga Mission, 1827-1855

Author(s): Gary Clover

History | Aotearoa New Zealand Non-Fiction | Maori | Religion

Early Hokianga was different. A unique blend of Ngapuhi Maori, kauri milling settlers and Wesleyan missionaries. 


Drawing upon modern scholarly insights, Methodist historian Gary Clover investigates the nature of culture change and Maori 'conversion' from 1827-1855, during New Zealand's early contact era. 


He explores how Hokianga Maori, amidst immense turmoil and change, adopted and 'Maorified' European technology, culture, and Christianity.
