Power, Prejudice, Parihaka is set in the new colony of New Zealand in the 1860s, 70s, and 80s. The story is centred around one event which occurred on the 5 November, 1881. On this day armed constabulary entered a small Mori village known as Parihaka P and forcibly arrested significant Mori leaders. These men had been involved in a non-violent protest to regain their ancestral lands. This military act destroyed Mori hopes for regaining what had been historical theirs. The major aim of this book is to describe a model of colonization through the patterns of activities which preceded the arrests at Parihaka. There is, however, a second aim. This is to enhance understanding of the actions of others through recognition that we are all products of our past histories, our many stories, and the fabric of our lives. In order to understand others we need first to understand the past with its many and varied intertwining narratives in which no one perspective holds the total picture.

This book presents research conducted on the validity of hospitality education and training degrees in Macau in the period preceding the explosive growth in tourism precipitated by the regulation of its lucrative gaming industry. The Macau Special Administrative Region (SAR) is a major regional tourist destination principally because of its reputation as a gaming haven and is known as the "Las Vegas of the East." With the high volume of inbound tourists into a tiny territory, the hotel industry plays a key role in the success of tourism per se and the local hospitality industry patronised by the local populace. The provision of high quality personnel is therefore critical and the challenge faced by Macau is to wean itself from the dependence on expatriate human resources and to nurture local expertise. This book provides an historical account of hospitality management education and explores the impact of healthy education-industry linkage on meeting education goals in hospitality management.
