Braided Waters sheds new light on the relationship between
environment and society by charting the history of Hawaii's Molokai
island over a thousand-year period of repeated settlement. From the
arrival of the first Polynesians to contact with eighteenth-century
European explorers and traders to our present era, this study shows
how the control of resources-especially water-in a fragile, highly
variable environment has had profound effects on the history of
Hawaii. Wade Graham examines the ways environmental variation
repeatedly shapes human social and economic structures and how, in
turn, man-made environmental degradation influences and reshapes
societies. A key finding of this study is how deep structures of
place interact with distinct cultural patterns across different
societies to produce similar social and environmental outcomes, in
both the Polynesian and modern eras-a case of historical
isomorphism with profound implications for global environmental
history.
