New Zealand Now XIII (Centennial Surveys) by Oliver Duff

New Zealand now - its critics say there are many New Zealands, that we have provincial feeling but no real sense of nationhood. What manner of men and women we are is the concern of Oliver Duff, author of this summing up, but not summarising, volume. The other authors have told us about the past and related it to the present. Oliver Duff sees the past only in so far as it still works in the present. This is a vigorous and unusual and by no means uncritical study by a mature mind of a young, shy people making unsteady, childish steps towards self-realisation. It is New Zealand commenting on New Zealand, for its author was born and brought up in this country, and his many years of experience as a newspaper editor give him a very practical insight into our manners, morals, and habits. Every New Zealander who reads this unique book will be stimulated to a new self-awareness. This 1956 Allen & Unwin Hardback is in good condition. DJ. Dust jacket torn. Book itself in good shape.
