Beyond the New Zealand Identity Crisis.
What makes New Zealand different and distinctive? Why are we so uncertain about our national identity? Are we about to be swamped by the emerging global culture or can we stand out from the crowd?
Rights of Passage provides a unique and refreshing view of the factors that define New Zealand's national sense of self - politics, race relations, sport, conservation, class consciousness, diplomacy, defence and economic policy. Now, these issues are seen through the personal lens of Chris Laidlaw, who has had a lifetime of experience at the forefront of public affairs here in New Zealand and in other parts of the world.
Chris Laidlaw leads us via his own fascinating brant of anecdote and humour through the labyrinth of our national identity and toward some of the choices this country faces if it is to fully grow up.
