Freeing Ourselves from Neo-Colonial Domination in Research

Abstract

One of the challenges for Māori researchers… has been to retrieve some spacefirst, some space to convince Māori people of the value of research for Māori; second, to convince the various, fragmented but powerful research communities of the need for greater Māori involvement in research; and third, to develop approaches and ways of carrying out research which take into account, without being limited by, the legacies of previous research, and the parameters of both previous and current approaches.
