Polynesia in early historic times

Polynesia in Early Historic Times by Douglas Oliver presents a comprehensive and detailed examination of Polynesian societies during the period of early European contact and exploration. Drawing upon archaeological evidence, ethnographic records, and historical accounts, Oliver reconstructs the cultural, social, and political landscapes of the Polynesian islands before they underwent major transformation due to foreign influence. The book discusses settlement patterns, traditional governance, kinship structures, religious systems, warfare, and economic life throughout the region. It also explores how early encounters with explorers, missionaries, and traders shaped the perception and documentation of Polynesian societies. Oliver’s analysis highlights both the richness and diversity of Polynesian cultural traditions, as well as the adaptability of island communities in the face of external pressures. Including maps, illustrations, bibliographic references, and an index, this work serves as a key resource for scholars, students, and readers interested in Pacific history, anthropology, and the cultural heritage of Polynesia. The volume provides a valuable foundation for understanding the complexity and depth of Polynesian civilization during the early historic era.
