Samenvatting

Unlike people who choose to migrate in search of new opportunities, refugees are compelled to leave their homeland. Typically, they are escaping war and persecution because of their ethnicity, their religion, or their political beliefs. Since 1840, New Zealand has given refuge to thousands of people from Europe, South America, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Refuge New Zealand examines New Zealand's response to refugees and asylum seekers in an historical context. Which groups and categories have been chosen, and why? Who has been kept out and why? How has public policy that governs refugee immigration changed over time? Aspects of New Zealand's response to refugees and asylum seekers include: the careful selection of refugee settlers to ensure they will 'fit in' * the preference for 'people like us' and the exclusion of so-called 'race aliens' * the desire for children, especially orphans * responses to the increasing diversity of refugee intakes * the balance between humanitarian, economic, and political considerations * the refugee-like situation of the Maori. As the book also shows, refugees and asylum seekers from overseas have not been the country's only refugees. War, land confiscations, and European settlements have made refugees of the Maori in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with displacement and land loss contributing to subsequent Maori social and economic deprivation.
