Book Synopsis Creating a National Spirit by : William Leslie Renwick
Book excerpt: By exploring New Zealand's centennial celebration in 1940, this volume paints a vivid picture of New Zealanders and how they perceived themselves and their relationships to the world at that time. Detailing the Centennial Exhibition, Wellington trade fair, and various other public commemorations, special publications of dictionaries and pictorial surveys, and cultural and art exhibits, this text fully examines how the country and citizens commemorated their history and recognized new opportunities in the changing world landscape.
