Looking for the Phoenix

A Memoir

By: William Hosking Oliver

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

W. H. Oliver, a writer, editor, professor, and central figure in New Zealand's intellectual landscape, reflects here on the decades of his own life and the history that has shaped him. A warm portrait is painted of his Cornish parents, whose experiences with immigration, rural work, the depression, and Labour activism are recounted. Oliver shares how he avidly absorbed education and progressed from rural schools to Oxford University. This wide-ranging account tells of ancestry and early childhood, the influences of feminism, friendship, marriage, and family, while acknowledging the broader scope of history and the development of New Zealand. This is a poet writing about history, and an historian writing an autobiography--perceptive, wry, and sometimes painfully honest.

Histories, Power and Loss

Uses of the Past--a New Zealand Commentary

By: William Hosking Oliver

This work is about what people do when they produce histories about the past, and what some New Zealanders have done when they have recounted parts of their country's past. The contributors write of legal claims and constitutional doubt, and document some of the claims process and its consequences.

The Oxford History of New Zealand

By: Geoffrey Rice

When The Oxford History of New Zealand was first published in 1981 it was acclaimed as the standard reference. The turbulent 1980s have changed much about the way we see New Zealand and its history. Some of these new ways of regarding the past have arisen, directly or obliquely, from the activities of the Waitangi tribunal and the wealth of scholarship, Maori and Pakeha, which now surrounds the treaty of Waitangi. Others come from the events of the 1980s, with their profound social, political, and economic consequences. This new edition provides coverage of the last decade, and takes account of recent historical writing. Six new chapters have been added, and many others have been enlarged or updated, making this a substantially revised and expanded second edition. As before, the book draws upon the work of archaeologists, social scientists, economists, historians, and critics, to provide a comprehensive account of New Zealand's past from the first Polynesian settlement to the present day. Like its predecessor, it is essential reading for every student, scholar, and teacher of New Zealand history, and for the general reader, curious to know about New Zealand's past.
