- Abstract
The article discusses two books: "Makatea" by Moana Moeka'a and "A Question of Adoption" by Anne Else with Maria Haenga-Collins. "Makatea" explores the little-known history of Cook Islanders being sent to the French Polynesian island of Makatea during World War II to prevent New Zealand's agriculture industry from collapsing. The book highlights the economic opportunities and challenges faced by the Cook Islanders during their time on the island. "A Question of Adoption" provides a comprehensive context of adoption practices in New Zealand from 1944 to 2022, focusing on the experiences of adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive parents. The book examines the societal expectations and changes in adoption practices over time, including the incorporation of reproductive technology and the inclusion of Māori views and values in adoption debates and policies.
