Description
From the late 1700's, Hawaiian society began to change rapidly as it responded to the growing world system of capital whose trade routs and markets criss-crossed the islands.
Reflecting many years of collaboration between Marshall Sahlins, a prominent social anthropologist, and Patrick V.
Kirch, a leading archaeologist of Oceania, "Anahulu" seeks out the traces of this transformation in a typical local center of the kingdom founded by Kamehameha: the Anahulu river valley of Northwestern Oahu.
Volume I shows the suprising effects of the encounter with the imperial forces of commerce and Christianity - the distinctive ways the Hawaiian people culturally organized the experience, from the structure of the kingdom to the daily life of ordinary people.
Voulme II examines the material record of changes in local social organizations, economy and production, population, and domestic settlement arrangements.
