Listen "Dr Peter Meihana - Exploding a Pākehā Myth (Wairau launch)"
Episode Synopsis
Growing up, Dr Peter Meihana often heard that Māori received special treatment and had advantages that other New Zealanders did not. However, this idea didn’t match with his life experience as Māori nor did it match with what he learned when he became hooked on studying history.
He blew the myth apart in his doctorate thesis and has kindly encapsulated his argument for the lay reader in his important new book, Privilege in Perpetuity, Exploding a Pākehā Myth.
Peter was in conversation with Emma Tucker at the 2023 Marlborough Book Festival.
