Book Description
"It should have been no surprise that a great-grandson of the adventuresome and enterprising Richard (Dicky) Barrett, trader, whaler, interpreter and hotel owner, would in his own field become an entrepreneurial leader in agricultural commerce and marketing. Arthur Huia Honeyfield stepped beyond Dicky Barrett in that he demostrated a unique ability to excell both in private enterprise and as a bureaucrat. He was a pioneer aviator, he wa early on the scene in exotic afforestation, he had qualifications in law and accountancy, he established the second commerical planting of avocados in New Zealand, and he was the "money man" behind the development of New Zealand's largest export port."--backcover.

Colonization and the Origins of Humanitarian Governance
Author: Alan LesterPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139915878
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
How did those responsible for creating Britain's nineteenth-century settler empire render colonization compatible with humanitarianism? Avoiding a cynical or celebratory response, this book takes seriously the humane disposition of colonial officials, examining the relationship between humanitarian governance and empire. The story of 'humane' colonial governance connects projects of emancipation, amelioration, conciliation, protection and development in sites ranging from British Honduras through Van Diemen's Land and New South Wales, New Zealand and Canada to India. It is seen in the lives of governors like George Arthur and George Grey, whose careers saw the violent and destructive colonization of indigenous peoples at the hands of British emigrants. The story challenges the exclusion of officials' humanitarian sensibilities from colonial history and places the settler colonies within the larger historical context of Western humanitarianism.
