This is a useful and long-awaited work with a great deal to offer the simply curious, the student of history and the aspiring orator. – Tom O’Connor, Taranaki Daily News
I would definitely recommend Whaikorero: The World of Maori Oratory by Poia Rewi. – Maraea Rakuraku, Speaking Volumes
This valuable book has come about from Poia’s desire to record information from a rapidly diminishing generation of kaumatua ... Whaikorero is for the shelves of those with a serious interest and curiosity about Maori history and tikanga. – Mana Magazine
Featuring a range of samples, this handy guide provides high quality exemplars for learners and intermediate speakers of te reo Maori wishing to improve their whaikorero skills. It will be a major book for everyone interested in Maori and Polynesian cultures.
