  • Fragments from a Contested Past

    Joanna Kidman, Vincent O’malley et al.BOOKFragments from a contested past2022

    ‘What a nation or society chooses to remember and forget speaks to its contemporary priorities and sense of identity. Understanding how that process works enables us to better imagine a future with a different, or wider, set of priorities.’ History has rarely felt more topical or relevant as, all across the globe, nations have begun to debate who, how and what they choose to remember and forget. In this BWB Text addressing ‘difficult histories’, …

  • Settler colonial history, commemoration and white backlash

    Vincent O’malley, Joanna KidmanARTICLESettler Colonial Studies2018

    When students from a North Island secondary school began a petition to Parliament in 2014 seeking a national day of commemoration for the victims of the New Zealand Wars, they sparked a national debate about how, why and whether New Zealanders should remember the wars fought on their own shores. Although the petition attracted significant support, it also drew its share of criticism. This paper considers the subsequent debate through the lens of …

  • Questioning the canon

    Open AccessJoanna Kidman, Vincent O’malleyARTICLEMemory Studies2018Cited by: 8References: 15

    Social memory is inscribed by power relations that both produce and contain canonical state narratives. In settler nations, where indigenous and state relationships remain unresolved, tribal memories of violent colonial histories that are passed on to successive generations expose ‘official’ silences in foundational stories about a nation’s origins. In this article, we examine a public debate that occurred when a group of secondary school student…

  • A tale of two rangatira

    Vincent O’malleyARTICLEJournal of the Polynesian Society2016

    The depiction of Ngāti Maniapoto generally and Rewi Maniapoto in particular as extremists with an almost fanatical determination to fight the British runs deep in the historiography of the New Zealand Wars, all the way from John Featon to G. W. Rusden, James Cowan to Keith Sinclair and others. And a corollary argument is that Ngāti Maniapoto, through their actions and gestures, provoked the Crown (whether justly or unjustly) into launching an inv…

  • Reinventing Tribal Mechanisms of Governance

    Vincent O’malley, Vincent O''Malley et al.ARTICLEEthnohistory2009

    Nineteenth-century Maori society responded to colonization in creative, flexible, and dynamic ways. This is seen clearly in the way in which mechanisms of tribal self-government were reinvented, mixing indigenous with exotic influences to establish new and much stronger bodies better suited to cope with the challenges confronting Maori in the new environment. Increasing Maori anxiety to prevent uncontrolled land alienation and the complete subser…

  • A United Front against Capitalism? Unemployed Workers' Organisations in Christchurch, New Zealand, during the Depression

    Vincent O’malleyARTICLELabour History Review2008

    Ideological disputes which often hampered co-operation between unemployed organisations of the Depression era at a national level in New Zealand could sometimes be overcome locally given a clear focus for action. Many ordinary unemployed men and women were less concerned by ideology than the leadership of such organisations were, and a united front was possible under the right circumstances. But trade union hostility to independent unemployed wor…
