1. Mason Durie, "Whaiora: Maori Health Development." This book is incredibly insightful about the strong correlation between health in New Zealand and education and income. Those individuls with less income and lower levels of education struggled with greater health problems. In most of these cases it is the Maori that have worse health issues.
2. James Belich, "Making Peoples: A History of the New Zealanders from Polynesian Settlement to the End of the Ninteenth century." I haven't read this book completely, however it has already been very insightful about the historical background of my study location.
3. M. Konrad, “From Secrets of Life to the Life of Secrets: Tracing Genetic Knowledge as Geneological Ethics in Biomedical Britain.” I think this article is important when approaching my research because it ties in this idea of how people communicate about taboo subjects. This article specifically deals with IVF in Britain. A woman feels that she should be secretive and hide the truth about her daughter being the product of a donor egg. She wouldn't tell her close family, relatives, or her daughter. Since my research focuses on the communicative process that accompanies abortion, I thought this article was insightful.
