The Negation of Powerlessness: Maori Feminism, a Perspective - ProQuest.
Paper abstract bibtex The Negation of Powerlessness: Maori Feminism, a Perspective There is a void in our conceptual topography as Maori Women. The void has been created by the internalisation of powerlessness as a consequence of emergent power cliques which are a reflection of dominant power relations.

The year is good A year of well being A year of peace A year for women We must seek that which will be of greatest benefit for people. Ko tenei whakatauki, no Tawhiao mo tana Tuawahine – anei nga kupu, anei te timatanga o taku korero. This whakatauki was quoted by Tawhiao in remembrance of the deeds of one of his Tuawahine who had ordered the slaying and skinning of her pet dogs so that the tribe could be fed and kept warm.

The paper analyses events and actions in women's political leadership, Maori economic development...
