Description of  Te Iwi Maori: A New Zealand Population, Past, Present and Projected

This important new book gives a thorough and very interesting survey of the history of the Maori population from earliest times to the present, concentrating particularly on the demographic impact of European colonization. It also considers present and future population trends, many of which have major implications for social and resource policy. Among questions explored are the marked fertility decline of the 1970s, urbanization, emigration, especially to Australia, and regional population patterns.
