Colonizing Hawai'i: The Cultural Power of Law - Princeton Studies in Culture / Power / History
Sally Engle Merry
How does law transform family, sexuality, and community in the fractured social world characteristic of the colonizing process? This title reveals how, in Hawai'i, indigenous Hawaiian law was displaced by a transplanted Anglo-American law as global movements of capitalism, Christianity, and imperialism swept across the islands.
