Until 1939 the Maori people remained an almost wholly rural
community, but during and after the second world war increasing
numbers of them migrated in search of work to the cities, and urban
groups of Maori were established. This development has
significantly affected relationships, both between Maori and
Europeans, and within the Maori people as a whole. The importance
of Dr Metge's book lies in its presentation of a carefully
documentd comparative study of two Maori communities, one in a
traditional rural area and the other in Aukland, New Zealand's
largest industrial centre. Housing and domestic organization,
marriage patterns, kinship structure, voluntary associations and
leadership in both types of community are discussed. The author's
survey and conclusions make a valuable practical contribution to
Maori social studies, and also have a bearing on the world-wide
problem of the urbanisation of cultural minorities.
