The Peopling of Hawaii
he Peopling of Hawaii by Eleanor C. Nordyke offers a comprehensive historical and demographic overview of how Hawaii’s population was formed across centuries. The book traces the arrival of the earliest Polynesian settlers, followed by successive waves of immigrants from Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Nordyke explains the cultural, economic, and political forces that shaped migration patterns and examines how each group contributed to Hawaii’s unique multicultural society. Using demographic data, historical records, and social analysis, she illustrates how population changes influenced labor systems, social structures, and ethnic relations in the islands. The work also highlights the development of Hawaii’s plantation economy, the arrival of contract laborers from China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Portugal, and other regions, and the eventual blending of cultures that characterizes modern Hawaii. Both scholarly and accessible, the book serves as an essential reference on Hawaiian population history and ethnic diversity.
