Reseña del editor:

MAKING PEOPLES, James Belich's history from the Polynesian settlement to the end of the 19th century, was a major bestseller in New Zealand. It had a unique range, ambition and readability that made sense of New Zealand's complex and often brutal past. Triumphantly completing this work, PARADISE REFORGED is a superb account of a country which has in 100 years undergone massive changes as a flood of 'Pakeha' (European) immigrants built on the land opportunities opened by the ferocious British-Maori wars of the 19th century. Torn between British and Pacific identities, New Zealanders have successfully created a new nation but one in which the tensions and injustices of its founding are never far from the surface.
