About this audiobook
The Story of Hawaii: History, Customs, Mythology, Geography & Archaeology assembles a capacious portrait of the islands, bringing historical narrative into conversation with ethnographic observation, royal tradition, demographic record, geographical description, and archaeological inquiry. Its range of prose—from documentary accounts and interpretive history to mythic materials and statistical reporting—reveals Hawaii as both a lived Indigenous world and a contested site of modern knowledge-making. Accounts of sacred custom and oral tradition stand alongside surveys of land, population, and material remains, making the volume especially valuable for tracing the relations between memory, place, and governance. The contributors represent distinct institutional and cultural positions: a Hawaiian king and cultural custodian, scholars of Hawaiian tradition and antiquities, historians, and governmental compilers. Together, their writings belong to the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century formation of Hawaiian historiography, anthropology, archaeology, and colonial-era administration. Their varied perspectives illuminate both the endurance of Native Hawaiian intellectual traditions and the classificatory impulses through which outside observers sought to describe the islands. The collection's plurality makes visible the agreements, tensions, and omissions embedded in archival knowledge. Recommended for students, researchers, and general readers of Pacific history, this volume offers an unusually rich single-volume introduction to Hawaii's cultural and historical complexity. It rewards attentive reading with multiple styles of evidence and a sustained dialogue between tradition, record, and interpretation.
