Auckland: Oxford University Press, 1997. Second Edition [stated] Presumed first printing. Trade paperback. Very good. viii, [2], 346, [4] pages. Footnotes. Finding List. Index. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. Inscription reads For Paul McHugh, with the author's affectionate regards. Andrew Sharp, Auckland 27/2/98. This is believed to have been inscribed to Paul Gerrard McHugh (born 1958) a New Zealand academic lawyer. He taught at the University of Cambridge where he is a Professor in Law and Legal History and Fellow of Sidney Sussex College. This second edition has been revised, with the addition of a new chapter. In the Preface to Second Edition, the author writes "In a final, sixteenth chapter of this second edition of Justice and the Maori, I have written an essay on developments in political argument in New Zealand/Aotearoa from mid-1989 up until 1996. This has been difficult in view of the nature of the first fifteen chapters of the book, which I have left unchanged. My main intention in writing those earlier chapters ...was to contribute to an emerging international philosophical debate on the nature of justice and to insist on the importance of the concrete and particular in time and place when that debate was bent conducted. But I also felt obliged to record for New Zealander something of their recent intellectual and political history that I thought had not, until then, been related in coherent form....In the added chapter, long as it is, the history, political and the philosophy are treated much more briskly and are much less separated from from the other.... Maori-Pakeha political interaction is not generally much better understood. Should Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand, be compensated for past wrongs at the hands of the colonizing Pakeha? Should special programs be set up which treat Maori and Pakeha differently--either because Maori have been wronged or because they are worse off than the Pakeha? Or should there be one law, one way of treating both peoples and one "justice" for all? Justice and the Maori records New Zealanders debating these questions since the 1970s. It is at once a history book, and a book on the philosophy of identity, sovereignty and justice. It speaks to universal questions of justice in the distribution of authority and property, as to what it is to be a member of an ethnic group, and as to whether being a member of an ethnic group can act as the basis of special claims against those not of that group. It speaks to anyone interested in these matters, not just to New Zealanders. In this new edition, the author traces the history of Maori and government relations since 1990. Andrew Sharp is Emeritus Professor of Political Studies at the University of Auckland. Since 2006, he has lived in London and is the author or editor of books including The Political Ideas of the English Civil Wars (1983), Justice and the M ori (1990, expanded 1997), Leap into the Dark: The Changing Role of the State in New Zealand since 1984 (1994), The English Levellers (1998), Histories Power and Loss: Uses of the Past - a New Zealand Commentary (2001 with P. G. McHugh), and Bruce Jesson, To Build a Nation: Collected Writings 1975-1999 (2005)., Oxford University Press, 1997, 3<
