Whether harvesting sandalwood or bird guano, hunting whales, or mining gold, these migrant workers were essential to the expansion of transnational capitalism and global ecological change. Bridging American, Chinese, and Pacific historiographies,Beyond Hawaiiis the first book to argue that indigenous labormore than the movement of ships and spread of diseasesunified the Pacific World.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Rosenthal’s excellent study of the Hawaiian nineteenth-century working class from its inception to its dissolution is particularly relevant for under-standing the undercurrents of past imperialistic capitalist oppression. The ‘re-membering’ of this community is a significant step in the development of this neglected area within postcolonial studies, one which will hopefully inspire future researchers to engage in Rosenthal’s pursuit of epistemological justice.\"\u003cbr\u003e   * Journal of New Zealand \u0026amp; Pacific Studies *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaps vi\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments ix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction 1\u003cbr\u003e 1 • Boki’s Predicament 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSandalwood and the China Trade\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 2 • Make’s Dance 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMigrant Workers and Migratory Animals\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 3 • Kealoha in the Arctic 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhale Blubber and Human Bodies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 4 • Kailiopio and the Tropicbird 105\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLife and Labor on a Guano Island\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 5 • Nahoa’s Tears 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGold, Dreams, and Diaspora in California\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 6 • Beckwith’s Pilikia 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e“Kanakas” and “Coolies” on Haiku Plantation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Epilogue 203\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLegacies of Capitalism and Colonialism\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Appendix 209\u003cbr\u003e Notes 211\u003cbr\u003e Glossary 267\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography 271","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402895401303,"sku":"9780520295070","price":25.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780520295070.jpg?v=1730481796","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/beyond-hawaii-9780520295070","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
