Description

This course challenges traditional interpretations of our past, including historical stereotypes of New Zealanders. It looks at our history through new lenses such as family, community, gender, sexuality and citizenship.

Drawing on the latest scholarship, this course is both a survey of New Zealand history from first Polynesian settlement until World War II and an experiment in historical perspective.  HIST128 challenges traditional interpretations of New Zealand's past.  You will be introduced to different worlds of thought and encouraged to rethink and reimagine New Zealand history.  The course addresses a range of themes including oral traditions, hopes for an ideal society, migration, war, and the balance sheet of empire.  (For an analysis of the ruptures in New Zealand history in the second half of the twentieth century, see HIST129.)
