Evolving European Perceptions Amidst Asian Neighbours

Focusing on the evolution of New Zealand's perceptions of its Asian neighbors, this book analyzes various sources, including newspaper reports and government documents. It explores the formation of European views of Asia in the 19th century and examines how these perceptions influenced both New Zealand's identity and its interactions with Asian countries. The work is particularly relevant for those interested in the complexities of cultural integration and the historical context of New Zealand's relationships with its Asian counterparts.
