This book is a historical-cultural geography of the Maori people in New Zealand from an outsider's (East Asian) perspective. The study in this book centres around the concept of geomentality, the mentality conditioning humanity-nature relationships. Topics discussed represent geographic themes of Maori culture which have received little attention.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
«I read it with much interest and was deeply moved by his deep-sighted and sharp study. I am sure that this book will gain popularity among students of various displines all over the world.» (Hiroshi Ashida, Prof. Emeritus, University of Hiroshima) «This delightful book elucidates some themes of central importance in Maori culture, themes of which pakeha New Zealanders will need to take increasing notice in the future. It may hold a fascination for a wider audience too, in part because of the concepts employed, but also as it provides perspectives on an indigenous culture that has not been well represented in the international literature.» (Eric Pawson, Social geography) «Yoon elucidates some crucial intangibles and deepens understanding as he cultivates an uncrowded subfield of human geography.» (G. R. Lewthwaite, GeoJournal)
