Agents of Autonomy examines the way that Maori reorganised and
responded to the Crown's determined drive to secure Maori lands.
O'Malley's history discusses in detail the succession of Maori
organisations, or 'Native Committees', that formed throughout the
nineteenth century and came very close to regaining control of
their affairs and their resources. "An important study of the
political struggle of Maori to control their own world throughout
the later nineteenth century...It should convince doubters that
Maori leaders themselves devoted herculean energies in efforts to
lead their people and sustain their mana, demonstrating along the
way sophisticated political skills." - Angela Ballara, New Zealand
