In the century from the death of Captain James Cook in 1779 to the rise of the sugar plantations in the 1870s, thousands ofKanaka Maoli(Native Hawaiian) men left Hawaii to work on ships at sea and innaaina e(foreign lands)on the Arctic Oceanand throughout the Pacific Ocean, and in the equatorial islands and California.Beyond Hawaiitells the stories of these forgotten indigenous workers and how their labor shaped the Pacific World, the global economy, and the environment. Whether harvesting sandalwood or bird guano, hunting whales, or mining gold, these migrant workers were essential to the expansion of transnational capitalism and global ecological change. Bridging American, Chinese, and Pacific historiographies,Beyond Hawaiiis the first book to argue that indigenous labormore than the movement of ships and spread of diseasesunified the Pacific World.
