The BookSavaged to Suit: M?ori and Cartooning in New Zealand is a pioneering study by Paul Diamond. In the earliest cartoons featuring M?ori, they appeared as fearsome savages; today they are likely to be drawn in corporate-world suits. The book concentrates on the period from the 1930s to the 1990s, but also looks back to the first cartoons showing M?ori and includes 21st century images.Savaged to Suit looks at how M?ori and M?ori culture and life were seen by cartoonists in a succession of stereotypes over many decades of changing perceptions and attitudes. The book considers how these stereotypes criticised M?ori and their culture – sometimes savagely – to 'suit' cartoonists' agendas. Chapters deal with cultural practices, material culture, M?ori language, politics, the Treaty of Waitangi,M?ori in time of war, and the significance of sport. Paul Diamond also looks at the work and approaches taken by the small number of M?ori cartoonists. The book features 250 cartoons – the first ever collection that captures the attitudes and feelings of each period and underlines the importance of editorial cartoons as valuable historical sources.

Very nice style and material
Color: Maple Leaf Wf157, Size: X-Large, Color: Maple Leaf Wf157, Size: X-Large
This top fit perfectly. I liked the v-neck. The material was so nice -- a tiny bit silky and not clingy. I loved the colors too. But I returned it, because for me (and I know this is really picky), the leaves and flowers were too big for my liking. I felt old in it.

The Perfect Pair: SOJOS Oversized Polarized Aviator Sunglasses, Designer Look & HD UV400 Protection
Color: Brown Tortoise Frame/Brown Grading Lens, Lens Width: 54 Millimeters, Color: Brown Tortoise Frame/Brown Grading Lens, Lens Width: 54 Millimeters
The Perfect Pair: SOJOS Oversized Polarized Aviator Sunglasses for Women | Designer Look & HD UV400 Protection Seriously, stop compromising. I needed that perfect pair of sunglasses that looks totally high-end, gives you that confident, high-impact vibe (exactly like the look in my picture!), but doesn't cost $200. I found them. If you’re searching for the best budget oversized polarized sunglasses, you can stop right here. The SOJOS Retro Aviators are your 2025 essential, proving you absolutely don't need a luxury price tag for luxury features and style. These are a total statement piece. They nail the 2025 chunky aviator trend, that nostalgic, commanding shape that instantly elevates any outfit. I can wear them whether I'm dressed up for a high-fashion moment or just channeling a retro boho vibe with a fedora. What I Love About Them (The Real Talk - Functionality Check) To maximize your confidence in buying these, here are the three non-negotiables that make these my top recommendation: 1. The Lens Quality is the Real Winner (Protection & Clarity): When you go budget, you worry the lenses will be junk, but this is where SOJOS outperforms the competition. They feature HD TAC Polarized Lenses. That technical spec means zero blinding glare when I'm driving or near water, which is a must for me. Forget just "tinted plastic"—this is superior clarity. And, critically, the UV400 protection is guaranteed, blocking 100% of harmful rays—non-negotiable for eye health.   2. The Fit is UNREAL (Comfort Matters!): Style means nothing if your sunglasses squeeze your head and cause headaches. I love that these are incredibly featherlight and stay securely on my nose without being too tight. They feature durable, flexible hinges , which just adds to that feeling of quality you don't expect at this price point. For anyone who struggles with fit, user feedback confirms these are comfortable and don't cause issues even with large cheeks. This is the pair you can genuinely wear all day long.   3. Durability Functionality (Build Quality Checked): The flexible TR frame construction is not just lightweight, it's durable and bendable, making it less likely to break from a sudden shock compared to brittle plastic frames. The inclusion of high-quality, elastic flexible hinges further verifies the quality build, ensuring these shades are built to last, a true functional advantage at this price point. From my everyday drives to weekend adventures, the Oversized Polarized Aviator shape and the dark, sophisticated lens color make these the most versatile shades I own. This is truly the pair that delivers a luxury look and essential eye protection at a smart price. Stop settling for non-polarized, flimsy frames. Level up your look, your confidence, and your eye protection with the SOJOS Retro Aviator.

Stylish, lightweight aviators that look more expensive than they are
Color: Brown Tortoise Frame/Brown Grading Lens, Lens Width: 54 Millimeters, Color: Brown Tortoise Frame/Brown Grading Lens, Lens Width: 54 Millimeters
I picked these SOJOS aviator sunglasses as an everyday pair, and they’ve honestly exceeded expectations for the price. The first thing that stands out is the look. They have that classic aviator style that works with pretty much anything, and they don’t look cheap or overly plastic. They actually pass for something much more expensive. They’re also very lightweight and comfortable, which makes a big difference if you’re wearing them for longer periods. They sit well on the face without sliding around or feeling tight. The lenses do a good job reducing glare and brightness. Most SOJOS models use UV400 lenses that block harmful UVA/UVB rays �, so they’re not just for looks—they actually protect your eyes as well. Amazon For everyday use like driving, walking, or being out in the sun, they perform exactly how you’d want. Pros: • Clean, classic aviator design • Lightweight and comfortable for long wear • Good glare reduction and UV protection • Great value for the price Cons: • Not premium lens quality • Frames are lightweight (durable, but not luxury-level) Conclusion: These are a great everyday pair of sunglasses if you want style, comfort, and decent performance without spending a lot. Perfect for daily use where you don’t want to worry about damaging expensive shades.
