Requests:  0 Summary:  "How did Hawaiian and Polynesian culture come to dramatically alter American music, fashion and decor, as well as ideas about race, in less than a century? It began with mainland hula and musical performances in the late 19th century, rose dramatically as millions shipped to Hawaii during the Pacific War, then made big leap with the advent of low-cost air travel. By the end of the 1950s, mainlanders were hosting tiki parties, listening to exotica music, lazing on rattan furniture in Hawaiian shirts and, of course, surfing. The author describes how this cultural conquest came about and the people and events that led to it"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Hanapepe Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 303.48273 Alexander   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 303.48273 Al   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 303.48273 Al   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library R -- Hawaiian & Pacific H 303.48273 Al   Non Circulating   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 303.48273 Al   Claimed Returned 05/02/2019 Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 303.48273 Al   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Library For The Blind and Print Disabled R -- Hawaiian Reference H 303.48273 Al   Non Circulating   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 303.48273 Al   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 303.48273 Al pbk Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 303.48273 Al   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
