The Maori renaissance of the 1970s changed all that. Fiction writers led by Ihimaera and Grace challenged earlier stereotypes and inherited literary forms, creating a new body of writing that has redefined the Maori in literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil now no single comprehensive critical work has followed this evolution. Paola Della Valle's landmark book sets that to right. \u003cem\u003eFrom Silence to Voice \u003c\/em\u003eportrays the early 'silence' of Maori in New Zealand literature - characterised in caricature by colonial writers, then in increasingly sympathetic portraits from the likes of Frank Sargeson, Janet Frame and Noel Hilliard - through to the new and challenging works presented by Maori writers themselves. In an academically brilliant yet easily read analysis, Della Valle also stresses important links with the literature and culture of Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paola Della Valle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oratia Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780947506414\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oratia Media","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40247283056755,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":29.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_c6d21510-3a18-4ee2-af6c-8e4165ed2483.jpg?v=1657379606","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/from-silence-to-voice-the-rise-of-maori-literature-9780947506414","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
