Come On Shore and We Will Kill and Eat You All

Come on Shore and We Will Kill and Eat You All delves into the cultural clash between Westerners and the Maoris of New Zealand, weaving a historical narrative of early contact between Europeans and the Maori in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The author, Christina Thompson, shares her personal journey, detailing her marriage to a Maori man named "Seven," which highlights their contrasting backgrounds and shared sense of adventure. Through decades of research, Thompson examines themes of cultural displacement and the rich history of European exploration in the South Pacific, beginning with Abel Tasman's discovery in 1642.
