West Maui has been the site of rapid, drastic changes to landscape,
communities, governance, and economy. This collection addresses the
ways tourism both changed West Maui and how changes brought to West
Maui made a tourist economy viable. Each chapter tells a story of
the ways different communities experienced the transformation of
West Maui from an agrarian area into one dominated by industrial
tourism. While focused on site-specific histories of West Maui,
this volume is of significant interest to tourism studies, regional
and urban planning, and Hawai'i and Hawaiian historians.
The essays in this book engage with events, projects, and
developments in ways that describe a host of social relationships
and, often, the problems that themselves maintain those social
relations as inherently conflicted ones. By attending to particular
events and structures these chapters unravel some of the dynamics
that animate social changes in West Maui. Each chapter inventories
the concerns, lands, and people who were key to conflicts that
drive ongoing social transformations in West Maui. Social change is
not only the documentation of historical happenings, but the
singular, material confluence of historical factors that drives
futurity. These chapters look at these factors, historically and
now, to create meaningful comments for people in West Maui and for
scholars of cultural studies, history, and sociology. The hope for
this collection is to offer discussion of several concrete changes
that have contributed to the shape of West Maui's social
institutions and communities. The North Beach-West Maui Benefit
Fund has supported a number of book projects focused on West Maui's
communities and histories. This volume was preceded by, among other
publication projects, Tourism Impacts West Maui (2016), Michelle
Anderson's The Storied Places of West Maui: History, Legends, and
Place Names of the Sunset Side of Maui (2015), Sydney Iaukea's
Keka`a: The Making and Saving of North Beach West Maui (2014), Jon
Van Dyke and Maile Osika's Public Access to the Roads and Trails of
West Maui (2012), and a published compilation of Proceedings of the
Charter Commissions of the County of Maui, 1966-2012 (edited by
Lance D. Collins).
