Description

For most people the tiki is a souvenir. Sophia V. Schweitzer goes back behind that: to the carved deities of Hawaiian religion, to kapu and the prohibitions, to Pele and to Kaʻahumanu, who brought the old system down.

What is inside

Historical context and present-day finds side by side — from twelve-foot carved temple images to Trader Vic, Don the Beachcomber and Martin Denny. With photographs and drawings.
