This proceedings (only available in CD-ROM format) is a record of the visible and important international meeting for parallel scientific computing and parallel numerical algorithms which is held every two years. The conference provides a forum for communication among the applied mathematics and scientific computing communities.

Product Description
Aotearoa New Zealand, "a tiny Pacific country," is of great interest to those engaged in postcolonial and literary studies throughout the world.In all former colonies, myths of national identity are vested with various interests. Shifts in collective Pakeha (or New Zealand-European) identity have been marked by the phenomenal popularity of three novels, each at a time of massive social change. Late-colonialism, anti-imperialism, and the collapse of the idea of a singular 'nation' can be traced through the reception of John Mulgan's Man Alone (1939), Keri Hulme's the bone people (1983), and Alan Duff's Once Were Warriors (1990). Yet close analysis of these three novels also reveals marginalization and silencing in claims to singular Pakeha identity and a linear development of settler acculturation. Such a dynamic resonates with that of other 'settler' cultures - the similarities and differences telling in comparison.Specifically, Reading Pakeha?

This book also asks whether 'Pakeha' is still a meaningful term. ... Read more
