Pacific paradises : the discovery of Tahiti and Hawaii
Lummis, Trevor2005
Book
This is a story of cultures in collision. The reality of the colonisation of Tahiti and Hawaii by western powers is a shameful catalogue of misunderstanding and betrayal. In a final irony, western society now embraces many of the qualities held by the 'noble savages'.
