Download or read book People and Cultures of Hawaii written by Thomas W. Maretzki and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2011-04-30 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a significant update to the highly influential text People and Cultures of Hawaii: A Psychocultural Profile. Since its publication in 1980, the immigrant groups it discusses in depth have matured and new ones have been added to the mix. The present work tracks the course of these changes over the past twenty years, constructing a historical understanding of each group as it evolved from race to ethnicity to culture. Individual chapters begin with an overview of one of fifteen groups. Following the development of its unique ethnocultural identity, distinctive character traits such as temperament and emotional expression are explored—as well as ethnic stereotypes. Also discussed are modifications to the group’s ethnocultural identity over time and generational change—which traits may have changed over generations and which are more hardwired or enduring. An important feature of each chapter is the focus on the group’s family social structure, generational and gender roles, power distribution, and central values and life goals. Readers will also find a description of the group’s own internal social class structure, social and political strategies, and occupational and educational patterns. Finally, contributors consider how a particular ethnic group has blended into Hawai‘i’s culturally sensitive society. People and Cultures of Hawai‘i: The Evolution of Culture and Ethnicity will, like its predecessor, fill an important niche in understanding the history of different ethnic groups in Hawai‘i.

They moved to a cabin on the slopes of Maui's Haleakala, a small piece of Hawaiian heaven with a beautiful world spread at their feet. When Taylor suddenly dies, Annie's world dissolves. His death reveals who he was not. His lies profound. He'd lied about an inheritance received and lied about his name - Taylor Gordon had never existed. On a beautiful sunny day, Kensington Stone and LLoyd Moniz, fishing on Stone's yacht close to the island of Molokai, they saw and saved a woman from drowning. It was Annie Gaines. With their help, they uncovered the truth that Gordon was not who he claimed to be and discovered the benefactor of Taylor's supposed inheritance had never existed. He had been embezzling huge sums of money. Physical threats soon inundated Annie all because Gordon failed to realize, when he began stealing, that he was embezzling from the son of the notorious Gravello crime family from Sicily. Anthony Gravello wanted his money back and was quite willing to go to extremes to get it - even if it cost Annie her life.
