The Hawaiian pineapple industry emerged in the late nineteenth
century as part of an attempt to diversify the Hawaiian economy
from dependence on sugar cane as its only staple industry. Here,
economic historian Richard Hawkins presents a definitive history of
an industry from its modest beginnings to its emergence as a major
contributor to the American industrial narrative. He traces the
rise and fall of the corporate giants who dominated the global
canning world for much of the twentieth century. Drawing from a
host of familiar economic models and an unparalleled body of
research, Hawkins analyses the entrepreneurial development and
twentieth-century migration of the pineapple canning industry in
Hawaii. The result is not only a comprehensive history, but also a
unique story of American innovation and ingenuity amid the rising
tides of globalization.
