Book Synopsis The Gifts of Civilization by : O. A. Bushnell
Download or read book The Gifts of Civilization written by O. A. Bushnell and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1778 Captain James Cook made his first visit to the Hawaiian Islands. The members of his expedition and subsequent visitors brought to the previously isolated Hawaiian people new things, novel ideas, and, of greatest consequence, devastating alien germs. The infectious diseases introduced since 1778 have claimed more Hawaiian lives than all other causes of death combined. During their long isolation in space and time, Hawaiians had not been exposed to the many microbes that afflicted populations in other parts of the world. They had developed no immunity to those germs and gained no experiences to enable them to endure the sicknesses the newly introduced germs caused. That terrible vulnerability to foreigners' diseases has almost destroyed Hawaiian society and culture. The nine essays in this collection discuss the impact of these "gifts of civilization" upon the native Hawaiian people and upon the social history of Hawai‘i. Dr. Bushnell constructs a concise historical framework, including an examination of the native medical profession, and interprets the few facts known about it in light of present knowledge in the medical sciences. He presents information, opinions, and conclusions harvested from many years of thinking about the fate of native Hawaiian people, studying all the relevant documents, and writing about this and related subjects.
Book Synopsis The Custodians of the Gift by : Guido Carlo Pigliasco
Download or read book The Custodians of the Gift written by Guido Carlo Pigliasco and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-21 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging from more than two decades of research in the field and in the archives, the essays collected here explore the multifaceted topic of the Fijian firewalking ceremony, the vilavilairevo. The collection examines the intersection of the intertwined topics of cultural property, reproduction of tradition, and change with issues of (post)colonial representation, authenticity, and ethnic identity. The essays advance new insights on the tourist gaze and the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage and pose serious questions regarding the role of digital and social media as tools for preserving cultural legacies and extending traditional cultural worlds into new domains. Focusing on the response of the Sawau tribe of the island of Beqa to the commodification of the vilavilairevo as their iconic practice, this essay collection ultimately illuminates how the Christian cultural dynamics and unprecedented dogmatic schism surrounding the vilavilairevo spectacle are reshaping local notions of heritage, social sentiment, and social capital.
Book Synopsis Menehue Mystery by : Jan Tenbruggencate
Download or read book Menehue Mystery written by Jan Tenbruggencate and published by . This book was released on 2019-09 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generations of Hawai'i's residents have been raised on stories about the Menehune as magical and mischievous little people, living primarily in the mists of Island forests, in the history of our oldest places, and at the very edge of our vision. But Menehune are far more than a fairy tale, and there is ample evidence that the tradition has changed dramatically over time. Across 30 years of research, journalist and historian Jan TenBruggencate has tracked down the Menehune tale's many tendrils. Menehune Mystery is a retelling of favorite narratives: The 'Alekoko fishpond, the Kk-a-Ola aqueduct, Laka's canoe, the wizard Kahano-a-newa and K-leo-nui, and Kamapua'a's house, among others. It is also a forensic analysis of the myth's trajectory.

The location was on a semi-tropical barrier island with the many amenities of a warm climate, and a wealth of activities and benefits for older people. Little did he conceive that the Haven was a den of horrors where all of the disappointments and problems of his past years would pale by comparison with life at this bleak institution. And he would not only face his own unwelcome burdens but would be besieged by the problems of other residents who pleaded with him for help. Fortunately, placing his faith in the hands of his ancient heritage, he discovered an unexpected source of mysterious perception, energy, and insight that revealed to him the secret of success at the end of this tunnel of darkness.
