Chapter Six. Globalisation, Political Islam And The Rise Of Fundamentalism
A confluence of fundamentalism, political Islam, and an extreme understanding of jihadism is far from the mind of the few Muslims who seem happy with the label fundamentalist. Extreme Islamism aspirations may wish to establish a global caliphate (khilafa) to unite the umma, the global Muslim community, under one leadership. Multicultural provisions in New Zealand allow Muslims to live by some sharia rules in the family sphere up to the point wher…
Chapter Seven. Epilogue
The sad reality is that the image of Islam widely held in the West can only be called a caricature. It is contorted by the misleading notion that fanaticism and extremism are driving Islam's ethos and spurring Muslimhood. It seems sensible to the author to argue that Islam is what Muslims make it to be. As they mould the ambiguities of doctrine, Islam can be an instrument of peace, in the service of the best of humanitarian values, but it can als…
Chapter Two. Community, Identity, Diversity
On the international scale of the worldwide Muslim diaspora, the Muslim community in New Zealand is very small, comparable only to the smallest national communities in some Western European countries. The 'White New Zealand' policy was abandoned in 1974, opening up the country to multi-ethnic and multi-religious immigration, based largely on criteria other than nationality, ethnicity, and race. Nationally and on an organisational level, the Feder…
Chapter Four. Integration And Conflict Discourses
While New Zealand's rules and laws aim at making sure that Muslims are free to exercise their right to be Muslim, some Muslims may deny that right of choice to a member of their own group under the Islamic doctrine that prohibits apostasy. The main obstacle Western societies in general stumble over when dealing with the integration of Muslim immigrants is that Islam is not a religion in the limited sense of the word, but is rather a complete and …
Chapter Five. Gender Issues
Islamic canonical law, the sharia, regulates human conduct in every aspect from the sublime to the trivial, demanding close attention of the devout Muslim to the ubiquitous doctrines of their faith. In New Zealand, the issue of gender equality, or inequality, does not appear to be a huge problem in the Muslim community. In the eyes of tradition-minded Muslims, Islamic feminism is not only a contradictio in se, it is also a sign of a pernicious We…
Chapter Three. The Right To Be Different
Enshrining a partnership between Pakeha Anglo-Celtic culture and Maori culture (tikanga Maori), for practical intents and purposes New Zealand is cautiously multicultural. Few nations, however, have embraced the globalisation of anti-discrimination laws and human rights conventions with such fervour as New Zealand has. In the past when the Anglo-Celtic cultural identity dominated the national identity, vastly overshadowing the minority Maori iden…
New Zealand's Muslims and Multiculturalism
Issues of integration, multiculturalism and policies of ethnic and religious minority rights have gained greatly in significance in recent years, especially in relation to Muslims. This book deals with the Muslim minority in New Zealand, with special emphasis on policy aspects relevant to the integration of Muslims in the host society. The book also discusses many other issues, among which are Muslim political representation, inner coherence of t…
Identity in Crossroad Civilisations
A particularly strong example -in relation to the Muslim diaspora in the UK -is provided by Phillips 2006. There is also an ecological understanding of the concept of Australasia that links Australia and PNG to Indonesia, but excludes New Zealand

Legitimising Belief
The ‘women's business’ on Hindmarsh Island has had spectacular success although vital evidence had been kept secret ‘in a sealed envelope’. This paper, drawing primarily on the author's own encounter with the native title claims procedure, discusses various formative processes involved in the contemporary construction of Aboriginal indigeneity in which religious belief is heavily valorised. Subjected to a process of rationalisation for a long tim…

Australian Aboriginal Totemic Systems
Aboriginal totemic systems ‐ sections, subsections and to some extent moieties are not only intricate systems of ordering the universe, but also magical devices designed to harness cosmic power, as similar systems in other cultures were evidently meant to do. Comparisons with East Asia and European magico‐philosophical systems (especially the hermetic traditions, alchemy etc.) reveal striking similarities in the manner in which the universe is or…
Kastom, cargo and the construction of Utopia on Santo, Vanuatu
In 1980, as the condominium of the New Hebrides was about to become the new, independent nation of Vanuatu, two major secession moves, one on the island of Tanna and another one on Espiritu Santo, occurred threatening to tear this island nation apart. In this paper the dominant political ideology involved in the secession attempt on Santo is discussed to point up its historical complexity and internal contradictions. Autochthonous traditionalism …

Standardization and Measurement in Cultural Anthropology
One of the major problems facing anthropology as it continues to develop as a scientific discipline is the development of standardized research approaches. This article reviews the issues involved in the creation of standardized research procedures in the discipline. The relationship between cross-cultural comparison and the collection of field data is explored. The process of standardization, incliding the operationalization of concepts, the cre…
Progress and preservation
This paper is an attempt toward the analysis of modern political aspirations of Australian Aborigines. Considering current political ideals in Australia it is not too hypothetical to examine how Aborigines, when liberated from authoritarian guardianship, would shape their social destiny. While I admittedly take the convenient stance of detached academic speculation, I do regard the argument, put forward here, as a pragmatically oriented, prognost…
