Building the New Zealand Dream, by Gael Ferguson 1994
From the late nineteenth century when New Zealand governments first provided cheap and easily accessible loan finance for houses, government support for The New Zealand Dream - the family house in the suburb - has profoundly influenced the shape of New Zealand society and the New Zealand landscape.

A Small Price to Pay: Refugees from Hitler in New Zealand 1936-1946, by Ann Beaglehole, 1988
For European refugees arriving in the 1930s, New Zealand was in many ways a haven. It wasn't all easy: they came from a continent rich in culture and history to a small, isolated country with little social diversity. The immigrants found prejudice and suspicion as well as a place they could one day call their own. But the difficulties were ` a small price to pay' for freedom and survival.

A Woman of Good Character: Single Women as Immigrant Settlers in 19th century New Zealand, by Charlotte Macdonald 1990
Thousands of young single women came to New Zealand between the 1840s and 1880s as `government' or assisted immigrants. In this remarkable study Charlotte Macdonald explores their life histories and patterns both prior to and after emigration and in so doing challenges many of our preconceptions about women's lives in nineteenth-century New Zealand.
