New Growth from Old
This book is in the first place meant to provide basic information for the many Pakeha who interact with Maori as spouses, friends, work colleagues and service providers to help them understand a family type different from their own. It is also a contribution to the debate about the causes of current problems affecting Maori families, and suggests strategies for handling them more effectively.
Korero Tahi: Talking Together
Korero Tahi: Talking Together is a handbook and companion piece to Dame Joan Metge's earlier work Talking Past Each Other. In Korero Tahi she presents a procedure for managing group discussion which borrows from and draws on Maori tikanga (protocol). It is designed for use in settings where Maori from different iwi or Pakeha from different ethnic groups are present and committed to working together but it could be used in a wide range of contexts such as conferences, workshops, and community discussions. Korero Tahi is based on Metge's own experience of observation in Maori settings and on discussion with Maori experts and working with Maori groups. A practical guide in a wide range of contexts, it also has a wider implications for the whole of society.

In and Out of Touch
Whakamaa is a Maori word without an English counterpart - though 'shyness', 'shame' and 'withdrawal' all convey part of the meaning. In and Out of Touch investigates this central Maori cultural concept in terms of both individual experience and cultural misunderstanding.
Talking Past Each Other
Where numbers of different cultural groups come together, misunderstandings and tensions can arise, even where there is the greatest goodwill on both sides. Sometimes even those involved are unable to explain why. In this book the authors set out to explore the situations and contexts in which cross cultural misunderstandings can occur. Talking Past Each Other was first published in 1978 and has been read widely and reprinted regularly.
The Common Purse
"This book is based on the three separate studies that made up the Intra Family Income Study ... all of the Māori and Pacific Islands examples are taken from the [studies] ... enriched and extended the examples from the Pākehā study with details ... from unpublished interview notes"--P. [vii] and [ix].
Tuamaka
'Tuamaka' is the rope that Maui and his brothers used to snare the sun. Plaited with flax, the rope gained its strengths from the bringing together of its different strands. In her new book, Tuamaka, renowned anthropologist Dame Joan Metge asks what sort of rope we need to forge our multicultural future. She identifies the Treaty, the words and the stories with which all New Zealanders can gain the strength that comes from twining people and ideas together. The Treaty is our founding narrative, Metge suggests - and she tells a story of cultures meeting, arguing and then dealing with diversity. Maori and English, increasingly used in the same sentence, are our languages and Metge shows how Ma...
Beyond Biculturalism
Beyond Biculturalism: The Politics of an Indigenous Minority is a critical analysis of contemporary Maori public policy. O'Sullivan argues that biculturalism inevitably makes Maori the junior partner in a colonial relationship that obstructs aspirations to self-determination. The political situation of Maori is compared to that of First Nations and Aboriginal Australians. The book examines contemporary Maori political issues such as the 'one law for all' ideology, the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004, Maori parliamentary representation, Treaty settlements, and Maori economic development.
