Antipodean soldiers and writers, meat carcasses and moa, British films and Kiwi tourists-throughout the last 150 years, people, objects and ideas have gone back and forth between New Zealand and London, defining and redefining the relationship between this country and the colonial center that many New Zealanders once called home. Exploring the relationship between a colony and its metropolis from Wakefield to the Wombles, it answers questions, including How did New Zealanders define themselves in relation to the center of British culture? and How did New Zealanders view London when they walked through King's Cross or saw the city in movies? By focusing on particular themes-from agricultural marketing to expatriate writers-this discussion develops a larger story about the construction of colonial and national identities.
