A study of colonialism and indigenous health in Hawaiʻi, highlighting cultural change over time.

At the turn of the twentieth century, Edward Tregear was one of New Zealand's most prominent citizens and widely published intellectuals. He was an authority on M&āori and Polynesian studies, a controversial 'socialist' and secretary of the Department of Labour, and a key player in attempts to form a united political labour movement in New Zealand. He was also a social critic, novelist and poet. This biography traces Tregear's career from his youthful days on the 1860s frontier as an anguished, exiled Briton to his position as eminent antipodean figure singing the praises of 'national culture' in New Zealand.

The Eastern Turki texts dealt with in this volume belong to the collection of Oriental manuscripts in the University Library of Lund. The term Eastern Turki is deliberately used instead of New or Modern Uighur as these texts all belong to a period before this designation came into use in 1921. The texts are published as a contribtuion to the still unwritten history of Eastern Turki literature.
