How Chiefs Became Kings: Divine Kingship and the Rise of Archaic States in Ancient Hawai'i
ISBN: 9780520267251 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In How Chiefs Became Kings, Patrick Vinton Kirch addresses a central problem in anthropological archaeology: the emergence of archaic states whose distinctive feature was divine kingship. Kirch takes as his focus the Hawaiian archipelago, commonly regarded as the archetype of a complex chiefdom.

The status of most...

The History of Contract Labor in the Hawaiian Islands
ISBN: 9781108020718 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Written following a trip to the islands, the short piece focuses upon the use of imported contract labour in the form of indentured servants. Used primarily in the sugar industry, the system was, in Coman's view, one of which the results 'advance d] the interests of the labourers quite as much as those of the planters'. The United States' distaste with...
