George Chamier and the Native Question
2006
single work
criticism
— Appears in: JASAL , no. 5 2006; (p. 100-120)Sturm concludes his discussion on Chamier's novels by saying they are 'exemplary in that they illustrate the way settler society is founded on negation through Raleigh's reflexive "tarrying with the negative." I'd say that the only way to overcome this settler bind (that settlers seem to be fated to resettle) is to accept that we just have to live with it - it cannot be solved. It can't be cut like the Gordian knot; we - settlers and Maori, that is - are tied together.
