| Opplysninger | "Many years in the making, Toi Te Mana is the first comprehensive survey of Māori art spanning the time of the tupuna (ancestors) to the present day. Featuring nearly six hundred illustrations, this fascinating book explores a wide field of art practice: raranga (plaiting), whatu (fine twining), tāmoko (tattooing), whakairo (carving), kahurangi (jewelry), kākahu (clothing), whare (architecture), tuhituhi kōhatu (rock art), painting, photography, sculpture, ceramics, installation, digital media, and film. The authors, themselves of Māori heritage, offer an innovative and interdisciplinary survey that begins with the arrival of Pacific voyagers eight hundred years ago and closes with a look at contemporary artists active in New Zealand and around the world today. Central to the discussion throughout are Māori makers, whose individual and collective histories are examined in relation to their cultural, social, and political contexts. Ambitious and compellingly written, this book initiates, at long last, a Māori art history written by Māori and for the world"--
