When Darkness Stays: Hohepa Kereopa and a Tuhoe Oral History

Description

This extraordinary book unsettling, harrowing, and ultimately redemptive is based on the time the author spent with the T?hoe tohunga, H?hepa Kereopa. It plunges deep into a cultural landscape that has almost vanished, bringing to light insights that are enriching and sometimes shocking. The work climaxes with a staggering oral history that has never appeared in print until now, and which reveals one of the most tragic and distressing events in the country's colonial era.

Dr Paul Moon is Professor of History at Auckland University of Technology and the author of many books on New Zealand history, including several involving the T?hoe tohunga, H?hepa Kereopa.
