Faith and Loyalty
The popular association of Muslim immigration to New Zealand with recent Asian and African arrivals obscures a longer trajectory of settlement dating to the mid-19th century. From the 1850s onward, Muslim individuals and families have migrated, lived, and worked across various regions of the country, contributing in diverse yet often unacknowledged ways to New Zealand’s historical tapestry. This paper examines the first century of Muslim presence…
The Muslim Resolutions
In the 1912 tome Unsere Zukunft: Ein Mahnwort an das deutsche Volk, Friedrich von Bernhardi once wrote: “war is the highest expression in life of a truly cultured people” (55).

This polity included all of modern Bosni…
Islam in New Zealand – A Mixed Reception
Purpose: This research aims to discuss the history of Islam in New Zealand, together with some of the pressing issues and challenges Muslims have encountered along the way.

Mahometans on the Edge of Colonial Empire
The public conceptualization of Muslim immigration and settlement in New Zealand has become synonymous with the comparatively recent influx of Asian and African migrants and refugees over the past two decades. However, a noteworthy minority of Muslim immigrants arrived during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, in the colonial period. This article surveys the immigration and settlement of Muslims from the 1850s to the 1950s, focusing on…
