Mrs Johnson''sresearch examined Maori activism in an international context between 1950 and the early 1980s. 聽During this time Maori activist progressively created a space to have their claims and realities accepted in a variety of international venues. 聽To do so they had to subvert and challenge the discourse which confined and defined them as a privileged indigenous people. 聽Her research argued that the ''privilege'' discourse shaped the form which Maori activism took and how, in the process of successfully contesting that discourse, they created a space for Maori in an emerging indigenous people''sactivist network. 聽Collectively, Maori activists created a variety of spaces in New Zealand and internationally where they gained recognition for their claims, and they played a significant role in creating and sustaining organisations which advocated on behalf of indigenous peoples.
