Críticas
'Christina Thompson defines a contact encounter as "what we call it when two previously unacquainted groups meet for the very first time." This unusual, unclassifiable, unfailingly interesting book is a contact encounter. Few readers will forget their first meeting with the author, with her Maori husband, and with the historical context that swirls around them. Thompson writes beautifully, and, even more remarkably, she surprises us on every page' Anne Fadiman, author of The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down 'A charming blend of travel writing, cultural history, anthropology and memoir, this intriguing book honours the nineteenth-century explorers' narratives that are its inspiration' Andrea Barrett, author of Ship Fever and The Voyage of the Narwhal 'Her prose never disappoints' Publishers Weekly
Reseña del editor
Come on Shore and We Will Kill and Eat You All is the story of the cultural collision between Westerners and Maoris, told partly as a history of the complex and violent period of contact between Europeans and the Maoris and partly as the story of Christina Thompson's unlikely marriage to a Maori man. Beginning with Abel Tasman's discovery of New Zealand in 1642 and Cook's circumnavigation of 1770, Thompson explores the legacy of cultural displacement over centuries: the fascination, the friction and the bloody encounters that have left indelible scars on the consciousness of New Zealand. In turn, she finds the clash of cultures winds its way into her own life as she falls in love with a Maori known as 'Seven'. Transporting us back and forth in time and around the world, from Australia to Hawaii and from tribal New Zealand to a settled home in New England, Come on Shore and We Will Kill and Eat You All brings to life a lush variety of characters and settings. A blend of history, memoir, anthropology and romance, it probes the footprints of the past and the future it leads to.

Hardback. An improbable cross-cultural love story between a Maori man and an American woman, and the fascinating history that connects them. As an American graduate student in Australia, Christina Thompson travelled on holiday to New Zealand, where she met and fell in love with a Maori man. Their relationship was one of opposites- he was a tradesman, she an intellectual; he came from a background of rural poverty, she from one of middleclass privilege; he was a native, she descended directly from colonisers. Nevertheless, they shared a similar sense of adventure and a willingness to depart from the customs of their families and forge a life together on their own. Come on Shore and We Will Kill and Eat You All is the story of Thompson's unlikely marriage, but it also encompasses the history of the complex and bloody period of contact between Europeans and the Maori in the late 18thand early 19th centuries. In this extraordinary book, which grows out of decades of research, Thompson explores the meaning of cross-cultural contact and the fascinating history of Europeans in the South Pacific, beginning with Abel Tasman's discovery of New Zealand in 1642 and Cook's famous circumnavigations of 1769-79. Transporting us back and forth in time and around the world, from Australia to Hawaii to New Zealand and finally to a house in New England with a history of its own, Come on Shore and We Will Kill and Eat You All brings to life a lush variety of characters and settings. Yet at its core, it is the story of two people who, in making a life and a family together, bridge the gap between two worlds. 2008. First edition, first printing. A fine, unmarked and unread copy in a fine, unclipped d/w. 2.8 Centimeters X 14.2 Centimeters X 22.3 Centimeters. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 23022460
