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.
