Requests:  0 Summary:  "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. Integrating anthropology, linguistics, archaeology, traditional history, and theory, and drawing on significant contributions from his own four decades of research, Kirch argues that Hawaiian polities had become states before the time of Captain Cook's voyage (1778-1779). The status of most archaic states is inferred from the archaeological record. But Kirch shows that because Hawai'i's kingdoms were established relatively recently, they could be Observed and recorded by Cook and other European voyagers. Substantive and provocative, this book makes a major contribution to the literature of precontact Hawai'i and illuminates Hawai'i's importance in the global theory and literature about divine, kingship, archaic states, and sociopolitical evolution."--BOOK JACKET.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Makawao Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 320.4969 Ki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 320.4969 Ki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 320.4969 Ki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 320.4969 Ki Checked out 07/01/2024 Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 320.4969 Ki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 320.4969 Ki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 320.4969 Ki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 320.4969 Ki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 320.4969 Ki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 320.4969 Ki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: Prev 1 2 3 4 Next
