Description

Further Details Title: Pineapple Town Condition: New Description: Pineapple Town: Hawaii provides a comprehensive exploration of life within Maunaloa, a Hawaiian pineapple plantation community on the island of Molokai. The book delves into the social, economic, and cultural dynamics of plantation life, reflecting the transformative effects of industrial agriculture and the demands it places on its workers and their families. Through the lens of Maunaloa, the study highlights the unique structure and challenges of Hawaiian pineapple towns, including their corporate ownership, reliance on foreign labor, and the integration of diverse cultural traditions into a singular yet multifaceted community. The book sheds light on how technological advancements, economic pressures, and social changes have shaped these plantation societies over time. The narrative also examines the broader history of the pineapple industry in Hawaii, tracing its rise from the early 20th century to its mid-century peak. The industry’s challenges, including disease management, labor shortages, and competition, are discussed alongside its technological innovations and the socio-economic adaptations of its workforce. Rich in ethnographic detail and informed by the author’s firsthand experiences as both a resident and researcher, Pineapple Town: Hawaii serves as a vivid case study of how industrial agriculture influences community development, cultural integration, and the lives of workers in an environment shaped by both local traditions and global economic forces.

  1. I've ordered from Rarewaves here in the US and the UK multiple times, and continue to do so. They always seem to have something I can't find anywhere else at all or for a reasonable price. When I purchase used items, they are as described, if not a grade better. Aways a quick turnaround after ordering, every item arrives promptly, professionally packaged. Many orders have free shipping, even for solitary item orders. I never needed a reason to communicate, as I've had no cause. Recommended.

  2. Item arrived still wrapped as advertised but it must have taken some damage in transit since it arrived with a couple cracks and a small chunk of the frame of the case had completely detached. BUT the discs were still undamaged so I messaged the seller to tell them I was still going to keep the item I just wanted to let them know about the issue and they messaged me back and offered me 20% off the order to make up for the inconvenience. Great seller. Would purchase from them again.

  3. The book was brand still plastic wrapped. Looks exactly like the picture for a reasonable price including shipping. In perfect condition. Shipping was slow and I was worried that I was scammed again. Seller did respond to my message after a day and explained the item would be shipped within a week. The item shipping and tracking was updated by the date they stated. Took about 2 weeks to receive item. I’m usually impressed when item is shipped and received within a week.
