Mongrelism : the mighty mongrel mob nation of Aotearoa New Zealand | WorldCat.org
The biker gang The Mongrel Mob of Aotearoa New Zealand are notorious for extreme violence. Their icon is the British bulldog wearing a Nazi helmet, while their members are largely indigenous Maori. The Mongrel Mob's symbols arose as both a goading response to a history of colonial subjugation of Maori, and a proclamation of war against the (white) state. 'Mongrelism' offers portraits which illustrate Mob members' assertion of membership and pride in their identity. Artefact studies and brutal first person narratives are drawn from the Mob corpus. The publication takes the form of a gang handbook. The order and grouping of images is the result of consultation with members and hews to their geographic, familial and hierarchical relationships. An unedited Mob voice dominates the written section
