This volume is the first to explore the vibrant history of Magna
Carta in Aotearoa New Zealand's legal, political and popular
culture. Readers will benefit from in-depth analyses of the
Charter's reception along with explorations of its roles in regard
to larger constitutional themes. The common thread that binds the
collection together is its exploration of what the adoption of a
medieval charter as part of New Zealand's constitutional
arrangements has meant - and might mean - for a Pacific nation
whose identity remains in flux. The contributions to this volume
are grouped around three topics: remembrance and memorialization of
Magna Carta; the reception of the Charter by both Maori and
non-Maori between 1840 and 2015; and reflection on the roles that
the Charter may yet play in future constitutional debate. This
collection provides evidence of the enduring attraction of Magna
Carta, and its importance as a platform of constitutional
aspiration.
