And that history runs the gamut of official reactions\u2014from condemnation of interracial immorality or racial treason to celebration of New Zealand\u2019s unique intermarriage patterns as a sign of us being \u2018one people\u2019 with the \u2018best race relations in the world\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>In the history of intimate relations between M\u0101ori and P\u0101keh\u0101, public policy and private life were woven together. <em>Matters of the Heart <\/em>reveals much about how M\u0101ori and P\u0101keh\u0101 have lived together in this country and our changing attitudes to race, marriage and intimacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matters of the Heart: A History of Interracial Marriage in New Zealand Auckland University Press July 2013 312 pages approx 240 x 170 mm, illustrations Paperback ISBN: 978-1-86940-731-5 Angela Wanhalla, Senior Lecturer in History University of Otago, New Zealand A history of the intimate relations between M\u0101ori and P\u0101keh\u0101, and the intersections of public policy [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,459,8,17,4405],"tags":[1767,13594,259,1000],"class_list":["post-28619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-history","category-media-archive","category-monographs","category-oceania","tag-angela-wanhalla","tag-auckland-university-press","tag-marriage","tag-new-zealand"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28619"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28619\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
