The description is woven around the idea that the fixed (identity) is constantly "unglued" by the fickle (change). The Maori charismatic movements are seen as attempts to absorb the devastating effects of Pakeha incursion into a viable system of meaning. Yet the white white settlers, too, had to tame the discontinuities with the past and the ravages of cultural change. Religion is seen to be at the forefront of the struggle to defend and reinforce the boundaries around the variety of identities.In presenting his thesis, the author has brought together a wide range of information—other anthropological and sociological studies, historical accounts, official statements, and religious census data. The volume will be of interest to students of sociology, anthropology, and religion.Religion and identity ;1.Maori (New Zealand people)ReligionIdentification (Religion)New ZealandReligionMaori (New Zealand people)Religion.Identification (Religion)306/.6/09931Mol Hans1922-783777MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154971203321The fixed and the fickle2857248UNINA
