Sharks upon the Land: Colonialism, Indigenous Health, and Culture in Hawai’i, 1778–1855

bySeth Archer

In Sharks upon the Land, Seth Archer presents a historical account centered on colonialism, Indigenous Health, and Culture in Hawai’i, 1778–1855. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the connected fields of history and social science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
