    Synopsis

    Hawai'i's Russian Adventure is a look at a significant chapter in the history of Hawai'i. It overturns many popular myths and perceptions about the fort at Waimea and about European and Hawaiian interaction in the first half of the nineteenth century while delving into some of the central issues in historical anthropology, colonialism, and the development of global networks.

    Booknews

    Russian Fort Elisabeth State Historical Park in Waimea, Kauai has been neglected as a site representing Russian influence in Hawaii's 19th century colonial history and Hawaiians' role in its construction and culturally appropriated later use. From a Hawaiian perspective based on archeological fieldwork, Mills (anthropology, U. of Hawaii, Hilo) critically evaluates historical narratives about the fort and islanders' interactions with "the world system". Include b&w views of the site and its artifacts. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
