Requests:  0 Summary:  "Historian Seth Archer traces the cultural impact of disease and health problems in the Hawaiian Islands from the arrival of Europeans to 1855. Colonialism in Hawaii began with epidemiological incursions, and Archer argues that health remained the national crisis for more than a century. Introduced diseases resulted in drastically reduced lifespans, crushing infertility and infant mortality, and persistent poor health for generations of Islanders, leaving a deep imprint on Hawaiian culture and national consciousness. Scholars have noted the role of epidemics in the depopulation of Hawaii and broader Oceania, yet few have considered the interplay between colonialism, health, and culture - including Native religion, medicine and ideas about the body, and gender and sexuality. This study emphasizes Islanders' own ideas about, and responses to, disease and other health challenges on the local level. Ultimately, Hawaii provides a case study for health and culture change among indigenous populations across the Americas and the Pacific"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hana P/S Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 362.10899 Ar Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 362.10899 Ar Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 362.10899 Ar Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library R -- Hawaiian & Pacific H 362.10899 Ar Non Circulating Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 362.10899 Ar Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 362.10899 Ar Checked In Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 362.10899 Ar Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 362.10899 Ar Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 362.10899 Ar Checked In Add Copy to MyList
