Hawai‘i in World History: On-Line Resources

John Maunu

 

     From the earliest Polynesian migrations to competing views of Hawai‘i today as a paradise or a subjugated colonial state,  Hawai‘i looms much larger in world history than most "mainlanders" imagine. This article gathers Internet-based resources that it is hoped may be useful for educators exploring this at once familiar, but contested landscape.  These include resources, lessons, syllabi, films, topics such as  Hawai‘i in the Second World War and Oceania, articles, books, and bibliographies.  However, world historians might best begin with the following:

Ben Finney, "The Other One-Third of the Globe," Journal of World History, Vol. 5, No. 2 (Fall, 1994), 273-98 at http://www.uhpress.hawaii.edu/journals/jwh/jwh052p273.pdf

Edward G. Gray and Alan Taylor, "Introduction: Toward A Pacific World," in Common-Place website, January 2005.  Note links you can open in third paragraph to individual essays on Hawaiian immigrants, travelers, traders. See also the Interactive map at end of this short introduction for more articles on Pacific geographic-specific sites.  Either of these addresses will serve:

Nagtalon-Miller, about her growing up on a Hawaiian plantation where migrant workers from all over the world created a syncretic culture constructed in the face of traditional ethnic exclusiveness among them and efforts by plantation owners to divide and rule them. The memoir is supported by questions developed by Gilbert to help draw students to these issues, especially in terms of food, language and family.

Deborah Gewertz and Frederick Errington, "Cheap Meat:  Flap Food Nations in the Pacific Islands (Berkeley:  U. of Calif. Press, 2010). 224 pp. Cheap Meat follows the controversial trade in inexpensive fatty cuts of lamb or mutton, called "flaps," from the farms of New Zealand and Australia to their primary markets in the Pacific islands of Papua New Guinea, Tonga, and Fiji. Deborah Gewertz and Frederick Errington address the evolution of the meat trade itself along with the changing practices of exchange in Papua New Guinea. They show that flaps--which are taken from the animals' bellies and are often 50 percent fat--are not mere market transactions but evidence of the social nature of nutrition policies, illustrating and reinforcing Pacific Islanders' presumed second-class status relative to the white populations of Australia and New Zealand.
