Download or read book Cooling the Tropics written by Hi'ilei Julia Kawehipuaakahaopulani Hobart and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2022-11-21 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the mid-1800s, Americans hauled frozen pond water, then glacial ice, and then ice machines to Hawaiʻi—all in an effort to reshape the islands in the service of Western pleasure and profit. Marketed as “essential” for white occupants of the nineteenth-century Pacific, ice quickly permeated the foodscape through advancements in freezing and refrigeration technologies. In Cooling the Tropics Hiʻilei Julia Kawehipuaakahaopulani Hobart charts the social history of ice in Hawaiʻi to show how the interlinked concepts of freshness and refreshment mark colonial relationships to the tropics. From chilled drinks and sweets to machinery, she shows how ice and refrigeration underpinned settler colonial ideas about race, environment, and the senses. By outlining how ice shaped Hawaiʻi’s food system in accordance with racial and environmental imaginaries, Hobart demonstrates that thermal technologies can—and must—be attended to in struggles for food sovereignty and political self-determination in Hawaiʻi and beyond.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

S Lace-like as a mist-scud the malo of Ku, Ku, the god of many temples. Pass between the thighs the malo of Lono! Gird! gird on the malo of Lono, the variegated! They are bearing on their shoulders the malo of Lono-honua. 10 Decorated at its ends is the malo of the bird-god lo-uli, Leaf embroidered the malo of long-limbed Kane, Gird on your malo! Lo here is a sacred malo, bleached by the ocean! The sacred malo of the king is life to the women chiefs. 15 Bind it fast to the heiau! An ordinary heiau, a royal heiau, A heiau for the king, for Umi, son of Liloa. Long live the king! May he be victor, and put down all his enemies! 20 Array now the god-image in the malo! It is accepted, the ceremony, the ceremony of the king is accepted. (39) Sect 86. Hai ka haina: made a report to the king that everything, including the omens, was going on well, and was favorable. CHAPTER XXXVIII. THE CIVIL POLITY. 1. The word kalaimoku related to the civil polity, or government, of the land. The government was supposed to have one body (kino). As the body of a man is one, provided with a head, with hands, feet and numerous smaller members, so the government has many parts, but one organization. 2. The corporate body of the government was the whole nation, including the common people and chiefs under the king. This is seen to be the case from the fact that in a country where there are no people there is no government, as on Kaula and Niihoa.* The king was the real head of the government; the chiefs below the king the shoulders and chest. The priest of the king's idol was the right hand, the minister of interior (kanaka kalaimoku) the left hand of...

Book The Legends and Myths of Hawaii

Download or read book The Legends and Myths of Hawaii written by David Kalakaua (King of Hawaii) and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legends are of a little archipelago which was unknown to the civilized world until the closing years of the last century, and of a people who for many centuries exchanged no word or product with the rest of mankind; who had lost all knowledge, save the little retained by the dreamiest of legends, of the great world beyond their island home; whose origin may be traced to the ancient Cushites of Arabia, and whose legends repeat the story of the Jewish genesis; who developed and passed through an age of chivalry somewhat more barbarous, perhaps, but scarcely less affluent in deeds of enterprise and valor than that which characterized the contemporaneous races of the continental world; whose chiefs and priests claimed kinship with the gods, and step by step told back their lineage not only to him who rode the floods, but to the sinning pair whose re-entrance to the forfeited joys of Paradise was prevented by the large, white bird of Kane ; who fought without shields and went to their death without fear; whose implements of war and industry were of wood, stone and bone, yet who erected great temples to their gods, and constructed barges and canoes which they navigated by the stars; who peopled the elements with spirits, reverenced the priesthood, bowed to the revelations of their prophets, and submitted without complaint to the oppressions of the tabu ; who observed the rite of circumcision, built places of refuge after the manner of the ancient Israelites, and held sacred the religious legends of the priests and chronological meles of the chiefs.
