From the late 1700s, Hawaiian society began to change rapidly as it
responded to the growing world system of capital whose trade routes
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 centre of the kingdom founded by Kamehameha: the
Anahulu river valley of northwestern Oahu. Volume I shows the
surprising 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. Volume II
examines the material record of changes in local social
organization, economy and production, population, and domestic
settlement arrangements.
