VERY GOOD 1992 FIRST EDITION softcover, free tracking number, solid binding, NO remainders NOT ex-library, smoke free; slight notations on 10 pages plus half-title page shows many notations; slight gentle shelfwear / storage-wear; WE SHIP FAST. 201905503 Native Land and Foreign Desires is the best book i've ever read on Hawaiian history and the history of the Mahele. using Hawaiian language sources, Lilikala Kame'eleihiwa opens the book with several chapters that introduce the reader to Hawaiian cosmology. She clearly and eloquently explains how Hawaiian society was politically, culturally, spiritually, economically, and socially structured by reciprocal relationships among the land, animals, plants, and people. Given this understanding, she describes how that system was transformed by relationships with US colonizers, businessmen, and missionaries and analyzes its dramatic consequences. This book is one of the few books that offers history from a native Hawaiian perspective. It is an absolute treasure and a brilliant contribution to critical historical scholarship.
