	Alan Duff (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-22)
		Alan Duff was born in 1950 as son of a Maori and a European father and grew up in a typical government housing area in Rotorua, New Zealand.
		In a harsh language of dialect and slang, and a dynamic narrative style of the 'stream of consciousness', Duff portrays the everyday life of a Maori family which is characterized by alcoholism, physical and psychological abuse, despair and the lethargy of unemployment.
		Duff represents the view that the willing assimilation of the culture grafted on, as it were, by the European colonial powers, is not the solution for the Maori to find a way out of poverty.

		Is Duff insinuating that the dysfunctional subculture of Pine Block is a responce to the void left by the British stripping of pre-colonial Maori culture?

	Scoop: Alan Duff on Maori — The Crisis And the Challenge
		On this week’s 1994 documentary Maori : The Crisis and the Challenge, Havelock North Maori author Alan Duff shares his no-holds-barred perspective on the perceived crisis facing Maori, spurred by the tragic and sensless death of Dannevirke youngster Craig Manukau at the hands of his father.
		Duff rattles off a host of negative statistics — Maori and abuse, Maori and diabetes, Maori and gambling — and if there is anyone that can speak about the brutality of growing up ‘troubled’, it’s him.
		Duff initiated the Books in Homes scheme as a backlash to alarming statistics that showed students from lower decile schools were substantially less likely to read due to the socio-economic constraints of their parents.

		The Alan Duff Charitable Foundation for Books in Homes Australia is a not-for-profit public benevolent institution.
		Believing that children from such homes do not become achievers at school or in later life, Alan¡¦s research concurred that children from disadvantaged communities didn¡¦t respond to receiving second-hand books, being told what to read, and where to get the books.
		The sponsor or donor paying for the books to that school should be invited and involved in the book-giving ceremony, so that they can experience the joy of giving and seeing where their money is spent.

		Alan Duff was one of the pioneers of lively, student-centred exercises in the 1970's and 80's.
		The two Alans were writing techniques teachers could use to bring their classrooms to life, at a time when people like Brumfitt, Widdowson and Trim were mouthing their book-long platitudes about " communication", "communicative approach".
		Into English is an excellent book for teachers with advanced students and works on the interface between mother tongue and the target language.

		As you may know, the program was piloted a few years ago and it’s been operating, proper, mostly in western New South Wales since late last year.
		In the mid-1990s, Alan identified the link between “bookless” houses and children who don’t read — and, often, the resulting problems with literacy.
		Alan, it’s a terrific program, and we’re all very grateful that your good idea has successfully made the journey across the Tasman.

	The Indian Subcontinent in Memory and Metaphor
		This essay, then, will be an attempt to establish a middle ground between these two voices, a ground that acknowledges and incorporates Duff's artistic accomplishment, although at times rejecting his political assumptions.
		In short, these novels evoke something powerful and compassionate in the scope of human experience, something that resists the dichotomous tendencies of dueling ideologies and entrenched political positions.
		The historical context that propelled the penning of these suicides is all but ignored in the criticism available, which mostly emphasizes the collision of “native myth” with white, industrial infestation.

		It's hard to say that the sequel to "Once Were Warriors" is an enjoyable film, but the overall message of "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?" -and there definitely is a message - is more positive.
		Alan Duff's screenplay (adapted from his novel) follows two main storylines: Jake learning to control his violence; and his son being drawn into the gang environment, which is built around the threat of violence.
		They eventually intersect in what is a satisfying, if not entirely plausible, ending.
