A Land of Milk and Honey?: Making Sense of Aotearoa New Zealand

by Avril Bell (Editor), Vivienne Elizabeth (Editor), Tracey Mcintosh (Editor)

Since colonization, New Zealand has been mythologized as a ‘land of milk and honey’– a promised land of natural abundance and endless opportunity. In the twenty-first century, the country has become literally a land of milk and honey as agricultural exports from such commodities dominate the national economy. But does New Zealand live up to its promise? In this introductory textbook for first year sociology students, some of this country’s leading social scientists help us to make sense of contemporary New Zealand.
